All graduate programs in Brazil are evaluated every four years by the Brazilian Federal Agency for Post-graduate Education (CAPES), in partnership with the academic and scientific community. Those that receive a score of 6 or 7 are considered of excellent quality at both national and international level. In practice, this means scientific production with strong insertion in the upper strata of scientific journals (status granted to publications acknowledged for their excellence by the scientific community), national and international awards, exchange of researchers and professors between leading institutions in their areas of knowledge, internationalization of their research projects, faculty with a high level of education and experience, a structure designed to meet research demands, including international standard infrastructure and a high degree of social insertion. |
