High school and undergraduate students (research training and outreach programs)

In addition to graduate studies, the research area has connections with the secondary and undergraduate levels, hosting students who develop teaching-research-outreach programs.

The admission of students pursuing to develop these studies in the research area is available at any time, to voluntary positions. Any student interested in applying should contact us to verify the availability of positions and demand for new researchers.

There may be scholarships available to students already volunteering or applying for new positions. These scholarships are available under institutional programs such as the PIBIC, PIBIC-EM, PROFAEX, among others.
