Strategic Planning
Our strategic planning for research actions has a local-to-global outlook described as follows.
Global level
Strict observation of global trends for R&D efforts, such as those disclosed by the GESDA Science Breakthrough Radar and by the Agenda 2030’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Know more about the 17 SDGs clicking here.
National level
Alignment with the Brazilian policies for R&D, in particular with the National Plan for the Graduate Programs, which highlight the leading areas of the country and the need for protagonism of the universities in defining their research programs.
