The University

Unicamp accounts for 8% of academic research in Brazil, 12% of national post-graduation and maintains the leadership among Brazilian universities regarding patents and the number of articles per capita published annually in journals indexed in the ISI database / WoS. The University has approximately 34,000 students enrolled in 66 undergraduate courses and 153 postgraduate programs.

The annual average of theses and dissertations defended is 2.1 thousand and 99% of its professors hold a doctorate degree. Unicamp is currently the most productive Brazilian university in Brazil. This research and teaching battalion leads the national per capita ranking of scientific publications in international journals cataloged. If academic production is calculated by the performance of each researcher, Unicamp is currently the most productive Brazilian university.

Every year, about 800 doctors are trained, a brand capable of arousing admiration even in leaders of some American and European universities. And in five decades, Unicamp has trained more than 65 thousand young professionals in their undergraduate courses. In addition, thousands of university graduates work in companies, government and social organizations, contributing to the economic and social development of the country. As a scientific and cultural hub, the University has brought together great names in academia. Among them, Cesar Lattes, André Tosello, Gleb Wataghin, Vital Brasil, Giuseppe Cilento, Octávio Ianni, Almeida Prado and Bernardo Caro, among many others.

Located in the State of São Paulo, Unicamp has three campuses – in Campinas, Piracicaba and Limeira – and comprises 24 teaching and research units. It also has a vast health complex (with two large hospitals on Campinas campus), as well as 23 centers and interdisciplinary centers, two technical colleges and a series of support units in a universe where 50,000 people live and thousands of research projects.

Unicamp is an autarchy, autonomous in educational policy, but subordinated to the State Government with regard to subsidies for its operation. Thus, financial resources are obtained mainly from the Government of the State of São Paulo and from national and international development institutions.

The campus has the name of its founder, Zeferino Vaz, who was the one who idealized it. The University City "Zeferino Vaz" is located in the district of Barão Geraldo, northwest region of Campinas. It is 12km from the city center.

Unicamp was officially founded on October 5, 1966, the day of the launch of its foundation stone. Even in a recent university context, Unicamp can be considered a young institution that has already achieved a strong tradition in teaching, research and relations with society.

The Unicamp installation project responded to the growing demand for qualified personnel in a region of the country that already had 40% of Brazil’s industrial capacity and 24% of its economically active population.

A characteristic of Unicamp was to have escaped the Brazilian tradition of creating universities by the simple accumulation of courses and units. Unlike most institutions, it was built on an idea that encompassed the whole of its current set. Suffice it to say that, even before it was installed, Unicamp had already attracted more than 200 foreign professors from the different areas of knowledge and about 180 from the best Brazilian universities.

PRINCIPIOS
La autonomía, respecto del Estado o de cualquier otra estructura de poder y la libertad académica de cátedra, es el fundamento básico de la Universidad pública. Así entendida, a autonomía es inseparable de la democracia y del ejercicio de la soberanía nacional. Se complementa con el co-gobierno docente-estudiantil, que reúne la voluntad general de los dos gremios más importantes que le dan razón de ser a la educación superior, con el valioso apoyo de los trabajadores administrativos. La comunidad universitaria rechaza toda forma de intervención del poder central en su seno, más aún cualquier forma de gobierno de la educación superior pública que no emerja del ejercicio de la autonomía Universitaria y el Cogobierno docente-estudiantil.El Estatuto orgánico define a la Universidad Boliviana con los siguientes atributos: es nacional, científica, democrática, popular y anti-imperialista, en un proceso dialéctico de vinculación y mutua influencia entre la Universidad y la Sociedad.
