Since 2022, we have been integrating Neo4j into the Big Data course of the Computer Engineering program at the Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco (IPCB) — helping students explore and understand complex relationships within data through a graph-oriented approach.
This journey has produced inspiring results:
In July 2025, 83 out of 88 students achieved the Neo4j Certified Professional credential, demonstrating outstanding engagement and technical mastery.
Neo4j has become a cornerstone of our teaching and research, supporting innovative work in data analytics, network analysis, and intelligent systems.
Grateful to the Neo4j team and community for fostering such an open and collaborative environment that empowers educators, students, and researchers worldwide.
