Science Outreach
What is Outreach?
Outreach at UFRJ follows the concept of “university extension”, as defined by the Assistant Rectors Forum for Outreach in Brazilian Public Higher Education Institutions (FORPROEX, 2010):
“University extension, based on the constitutional principle of inseparability between teaching, research, and outreach, is an interdisciplinary, educational, cultural, scientific, and political process that promotes transformative engagement between universities and society“.
At UFRJ, the Assistant Rector’s Office for Outreach (PR-5) manages and promotes outreach actions with a deliberative council by the name University Outreach Council (CEU), created by our University Council (CONSUNI) on May 30, 2018.
