Guia de Sustentabilidade na Construção.

Abaixo depoimento na íntegra da Edna Ribeiro, aprovada na defesa da sua dissertação no dia 05/12/2011:

"É com imenso prazer que gostaria de agradecer todo o aprendizado e expertises adquiridas ao longo do curso do mestrado profissional do Latec-Uff. Este processo consolidou-se na defesa da dissertação quando foi evidenciada e verificada a convergência do estudo acadêmico com a prática mercadológica. Cristina Brunet, Gerente de Responsabilidade Social da BP, ex aluna do curso, parecerista técnica convidada, asseverou que o modelo teórico conceitual levantado para investigação da minha pesquisa já havia sido adotado através de uma Consultoria externa para validar as interações dos stakeholders da BP. O que foi muito gratificantte para todos nós."

In addition she/he will get complimentary conference registration, shared room accommodation at the conference hotel and up to U.S. $ 200 to meet incidental expenses in Chicago. However, the total grant money will not exceed $ 2,000.
The award committee may give the award to one or more Ph.D. students from each of the three regions Africa, Asia‐Pacific, and Latin America and Caribbean. The total money awarded for each region should not exceed $ 2,000.
