Program Overview

Pós-Graduaçăo em Biologia Vegetal da UNICAMP

The Pós-Graduaçăo em Biologia Vegetal da UNICAMP program was founded in 1977 with the objective of providing a multidisciplinary and updated formation, aiming at the formation of high-level scientists in the area of plant biology and improvement for teaching in higher education.

Nota CAPES 6

The program received a concept A in the first evaluations of CAPES and, since the implementation of the scale of notes 1 to 7, the program was classified as note 6. In the 2017 evaluation, it received the maximum concept (note 7). Currently, the program has a note 6 (quadrennium).

Mission and Objectives
