In the 2021–2024 period, the program carried out a series of actions related to its strategic planning, also considering alignment with the university’s institutional strategic planning, aiming at the management of its future development, infrastructure improvements, and enhanced training of its students, linked to intellectual production—whether bibliographic, technical, or artistic.
The actions, analyses, and outcomes of this effort are summarized in a document submitted to CAPES as part of the program’s proposal.
The document is divided into two parts. Part 1 analyzes the strategic planning of PosAutomation, its strategic actions and results, and the alignment with UFSC’s 2020–2024 Institutional Development Plan.
