CAPES PrInt: Program for Institutional Internationalization

Since its creation in 2006, UFABC has invested in research and graduate studies based on the spirit of knowledge construction beyond Brazilian borders. Numerous research groups have gained international projection, reflected in high-impact academic-scientific production and the establishment of UFABC as a target for foreign partners.

The Institutional Internationalization Project will allow UFABC to expand its network of international contacts and partnerships. We expect to establish a culture of internationalization at UFABC, which will make the faculty and students converge towards the goal of making our university a global leader in the construction and dissemination of cutting-edge knowledge in the follwing priority research themes:

(1) Biosystems and Biotechnology Tools;
(2) Advances in Nanosciences, Structure of Matter, Quantum Physics and Advanced Materials;
(3) Challenges of sustainability for the 21st century: energy, technology, development and fight against inequality;
(4) Information and Communication Technologies, Complex Systems and Smart Applications.
