Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
The Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, also known as the University of Brazil, is a public research university in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro. It is the country's largest federal university and one of Brazil's centers of excellence in teaching and research. It is recognized nationally and internationally in terms of scientific, artistic, and cultural productions due to great professors, researchers, reviews, and assessments made by international agencies.
The university is primarily located in Rio de Janeiro, with satellite campuses in ten other cities. Its main campuses are the historic "Praia Vermelha" (Red Beach) campus and the newer "Cidade Universitária", which houses the "Parque Tecnológico do Rio" (Technology Park of Rio), a science, technology, and innovation development cluster.
The early 1950s saw the institutionalization of research at the university, which resulted in the establishment of research institutes, full-time academic staff, highly specialized professor training, and partnerships with national and international funding agencies.
