Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sustentabilidade na Gestão Ambiental - PPGSGA
Given their extent, environmental issues should be addressed by professionals with interdisciplinary experience, who are qualified to develop technical-scientific activities and studies in this field, which is a topic of major public interest. However, there is significant lack of environmental-expert professionals, who can solve problems and propose solutions, mainly in Brazil. Although this task has been carried out by experts from different knowledge fields, they find it hard to respond to such a complex matter due to their overall less transdisciplinary academic training. These topics - which have great social, scientific and technological relevance in the contemporary world - require advanced professional training processes, as well as closer relationships between universities and the production sector. Thus, it is essential training professionals capable of integrating specificities of each of these knowledge fields, be them directly or indirectly linked to environmental issues.
