About PPG-CiAC
Interdisciplinary Research and Education
The Graduate Program in Environmental Sciences and Conservation (PPG-CiAC) is dedicated to developing scientific research aimed at the interdisciplinary education of Master’s students (since 2011) and Doctoral students (since 2014). The studies focus on fundamental issues related to various environments and biomes in Brazil and abroad, as well as, their interface with society and the major questions shaping humanity’s future.
To achieve this, PPG-CiAC offers physical infrastructure and a faculty and technical team that enables the development of studies ranging from the molecular scale to societal interactions, recognizing that the human component and ecosystems are inseparable elements in the current planetary context.
In addition to academic training, the Program encourages internationalization and participation in various initiatives, such as the Sandwich Abroad Doctorate (PDSE/CAPES) and partnerships with foreign institutions, expanding research and academic collaboration opportunities for its students.
