Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)

In 60 years of existence, UERJ has provided to many generations of students disciplinary and technical content, including a fertile ambience to refl ection. Our professors are committed to the professional and intelectual development of our students, also enhancing their humanistic formation. Several areas of knowledge are covered by 97 undergraduate courses, 346 research groups, almost 500 extension projects and artisticcultural activities, which put together teachers, administrative workers, students and the neighborhood community. Those and other activities are based in basic democratic principles of ethic, justice and equality. The concern with the social responsability has made the University a precursor in the introduction of services, programs and politics which look forward to the reduction of social inequality
