Solidarity, nucleation and visibility
Solidarity:
PPGEN reaffirms its social and academic commitment through solidarity actions. These actions help in the training of professionals and in the exchange of knowledge with other institutions, companies, and communities, mainly in the northern region of Espírito Santo.
PPGEN actively contributes to the qualification of professionals, teachers, and researchers through actions such as:
• Institutional partnerships, which involve the participation of teachers and students in integrative projects, development of technological solutions, and training of human resources.
• Support for the creation and consolidation of new programs, such as the Lato Sensu Postgraduate course in Energy Efficiency at IFES – São Mateus Campus, developed with significant participation of PPGEN alumni.
• Stimulation of the formation of research groups, such as the Center for Studies and Research in Energy (NEPE), composed largely of former students of the program.
• Integration with undergraduate programs, promoting scientific initiation and practical training of students.
Furthermore, our teachers work on initiatives aimed at democratizing access to knowledge, contributing with ongoing training, workshops, lectures, and training for professionals from public and private institutions and the community in general.
Nucleation:
PPGEN has played an important role in training qualified professionals to work in teaching, research, and the production sector. Many of our graduates have been approved in selection processes for doctorates (UFSCar, Unicamp, UFU, UFPR, UFRJ, and UFES), public examinations (Petrobras, IFES), local (Alcoa) and national (Petrobras) industries, Federal Institutes of Higher Education (IFES), and private colleges in the region (Multivix, Pitágoras).
The program has also collaborated in the creation of other postgraduate programs and research groups in regions less favored in terms of scientific and technological infrastructure. Of note here is the creation of the Lato Sensu Program in Energy Efficiency at IFES, Campus São Mateus-ES (https://ifes.edu.br/cursos/pos-graduacao/pos-graduacao-especializacao-em...). The proposal for this new program has the participation of 30% of graduates. Another important fact is the creation of the research group Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Energia (https://nepeifessm.wixsite.com/nepe), which has the participation of 60% of PPGEN graduates.
Visibility:
PPGEN has increased its academic, scientific, and social visibility through several actions that strengthen its presence in the community.
Professors and students actively participate in scientific events, congresses, innovation fairs, and publications in specialized magazines, which contributes to the projection of the program at regional, national, and international levels.
The technical and scientific production of the program includes articles, books, patents, and technological innovation projects, many in partnership with public, private, and international institutions.
The institutional website and Instagram also help to disseminate research results, training opportunities, and the impacts of the program on the training of qualified professionals.
