Núcleo Interdisciplinar para Desenvolvimento Social (NIDES)
Universidade Federal Rio de Janeiro

O Núcleo Interdisciplinar para Desenvolvimento Social – NIDES é reflexo da continuidade de um trabalho que vem sendo desenvolvido na UFRJ há 20 anos. A partir da experiência de diferentes grupos, começou a consolidar-se na universidade um movimento de construção de uma linha de extensão, pesquisa e ensino no tema Tecnologia e Desenvolvimento Social.
