PPGSAS

The Postgraduate Program in Sustainable Technology and Management (PPGTecG) trains multidisciplinary professionals competent in the use, development, and innovation of sustainable technologies and practices. It has one concentration area ‒ Technology and Management for Sustainability ‒ and three lines of research: Legal and Ecological Bases for Technology and Management, Sustainable Technologies for Productive Efficiency, and Sustainable Management of the Production and Consumption Chain. PPGTecG prepares professionals who can understand and propose solutions for enterprises in different sectors, including primary production, transformation industry, services, and public sectors.

PPGTecG has excellent perspectives in the scope of sustainability and in supporting public policies in the legal, environmental, technological and administrative areas, bringing direct benefits in terms of legal actions, recognition of the environmental bases that guide management and innovation processes, as well as developing technologies, practices and processes that add value to companies, individuals and society in a sustainable way. The Program seeks to combine basic and applied research with regional demands for products and processes, without excluding national and international insertion.
