Slide 3

Until Second World War Brazil had a very small number of scientists and little institutional base for research

Industry was incipient, mostly in traditional sectors. Federal S&T agencies created in the 1950´s. (CNPq and

CAPES) Graduate programs and full time faculty positions

established only in the 1960´s. FINEP (Agency financing engineering projects) created in

the 1970´s. Economic instability in the 1980’ s and 1990’s. Recovery and expansion in the recent decade.
