The production of scientific knowledge gives interaction between researchers, aiming at the socialization of information, to assist the development of science and technology and to help social development. At the university level, the production of scientific knowledge takes place in several variations. This article deals with relations with the project rights of the Institutional Program of Scientific Initiation Scholarships of the Universidade Federal do Ceara. These positions encourage us to develop research that addresses the following starting questions: Research projects linked to the Institutional Program of Scientific Initiation Scholarships of the Universidade Federal do Ceara have interactions among themselves and allow social relations to be used among communities, including the formation of a scientific knowledge network? Hypothesis: The projects of the Institutional Program of Scientific Initiation Scholarships can generate strategic knowledge that benefits the institution's scientific and technological production through their interactions, to meet the demands of the research. Basic objective: to identify the presence of scientific knowledge networks of the Universidade Federal do Ceara, through the mapping of projects presented as thematic interactions between communities. This is a theoretical-conceptual and methodological research in a descriptive-exploratory research, with quantitative approach, the documentary type for working with scientific projects. The results indicate that the relationship between approaches in scientific projects shows the various possibilities of relationship dynamics between scientific communities. It is concluded that an analysis of the characteristics and intrinsic relationships in the collaborative network can serve as subsidies for communication between researchers who work with related themes, as well as new possibilities for strengthened relationships, such as scientific production and knowledge construction using a scientific information management that includes the relationships between research and its benefits, regardless of the area of concentration.
