National Experience of Scientific and Technological Develop-ment in Brazil – CNPq

Abstract

Brazil managed to develop robust Science in areas such as Health, Agriculture, Mathematics and many others, promoting projects, programs and investing in scholarships for young talents to dedicate themselves to research, at undergraduate and graduate levels. The CNPq, CAPES, FINEP and 26 State Research Support Foundations - FAPs make up the National ST&I Financing System. The current challenge is to focus investments on projects in multidisciplinary collaboration networks, such as the INCTs, capable of generating innovation for society's challenges and the sustainability of technology-based businesses, in addition to the publication of articles. It has also advanced the culture of integrity and ethics.
