Inria-Brasil is an international strategic partnership with LNCC and major Brazilian universities, pursuing high-quality research in digital science and applied mathematics (with special focuses on HPC, Artificial Intelligence, Scientific Computing and Data Science). Within Inria-Brasil, we organize thematic workshops (in hybrid mode) with the aim of bringing together Inria and Brazilian researchers working on the same theme to foster new collaborations. This workshop on digital health will feature scientific presentations from French and Brazilian teams, introductions of ongoing projects, and conduct a panel to discuss international cooperation on digital health.
