PPG Networks
The collaborative networks of Graduate Programs at UFSC (PPG-UFSC Networks) are structured as a transversal initiative among UFSC’s stricto sensu Graduate Programs (PPGs) aimed at training master’s and doctoral students with an emphasis on emerging, innovative, or specially designated themes (the network theme) that are not fully addressed by any single UFSC Graduate Program.
Normative Resolution No. 5/2022/CPG, dated November 24, 2022, regulates the collaborative networks of Graduate Programs at UFSC.
The objectives of the PPG-UFSC Networks are:
I – to promote collaboration in teaching and research activities within UFSC’s graduate programs, enhancing the ability to meet social demands and increasing internal and external visibility of the network’s theme;
II – to promote the strengthening and expansion of Research, Development, and Innovation (RD&I) and graduate-level training in the network’s theme;
III – to integrate knowledge and infrastructure associated with UFSC’s PPGs to enhance graduate education in the network’s theme;
IV – to bring together faculty members, students, postdoctoral researchers, and other researchers linked to the member PPGs, aiming to identify new RD&I opportunities, whether individual or joint.
Currently, PosAutomation participates in three PPG-UFSC Networks:
COLLABORATIVE NETWORK OF UFSC GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN AERONAUTICS AND SPACE
This network involves the Graduate Programs in Electrical Engineering, Automation and Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Materials Science and Engineering from the Technological Center (CTC) in Florianópolis; Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Systems Engineering from the Technological Center in Joinville (CTJ); and Energy and Sustainability from the Center for Sciences, Technologies, and Health (CTS) in Araranguá.
COLLABORATIVE NETWORK OF UFSC GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
This network includes the Graduate Programs in Computer Science (PPGCC), Automation and Systems Engineering (PosAutomation), and Mechanical Engineering (POSMEC), all from the Technological Center (CTC).
COLLABORATIVE NETWORK OF UFSC GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN INTELLIGENT TERRITORIES
This network involves the Graduate Programs in Knowledge Engineering and Management (PPGEGC), Automation and Systems Engineering (PosAutomation), Production Engineering (PPGEP), and Transport Engineering and Territorial Management (PPGTG), all from the Technological Center (CTC).
