There are more students among mayors, councilors, secretaries and municipal and state employees.

The president emphasized that the training goes beyond the use of new technologies. "We're talking about city management, purchasing processes, contract oversight, and managing public investments. I'm certain everyone will leave here much better than when they arrived."

Professor Cíntia Menezes Brunetta.

In module 1, Professor Cíntia Menezes Brunetta discussed the Fundamentals of Digital Law and Artificial Intelligence. "What matters is city management; it's being able to work with reality in practice. There's no smart city that's separate from people, management, and positive experiences," she stated.

A member of the National Council of the Public Prosecutor's Office (CNMP) and a judge at the Federal Court of the 5th Region, the professor explained that the goal is to present what's happening in the world. "The point is not just to present concepts of artificial intelligence and digital law, but to show how they impact city management," she added.

On the 16th, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., the inaugural lecture will also be held in the auditorium of the Superior School of Accounts and broadcast live on the TCE-MT YouTube Channel and on TV Contas (Channel 30.2). Both in-person activities mark the beginning of the MBA training phase, which will be offered in a hybrid format, with both in-person and distance learning.
