The Department of Informatics

The Information Technology Department (DI in Portuguese) has been performing with distinction in the Brazilian teaching and research scenery for more than 40 years. On this data base, a series of indicators that briefly outline the academic profile of this unit of PUC-Rio  can be found and  they show the constant search for quality keeping of our activities as a whole, and also of professors-researchers, students, technicians and office staff.

The DI involves various activities. In the teaching area, the extension, graduation and post-graduation stand out. In the research area, the Masters and Phd courses are prominent, as well as the research projects that can count on the infrastructure of the laboratories and library.

The DI has also worked intensely in the extension area, through courses and various initiatives that reflect the profile of its human resources.
