RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION (RDI) AT DCC/UFBA

Over the past recent years, our Research Groups and Labs have raised a significant amount of funds (over BRL 20 mi in the last ten years) to support our activities. National and international Government agencies provide the majority of sponsored research funds. The DCC/UFBA also has a history of collaboration with industry.

Some important recent efforts may be highlighted: (1) Fraunhofer IESE and SECTI - The UFBA and the Bahia State Government reached an agreement with the German Fraunhofer Institute to establish a Fraunhofer Project Center at UFBA; this has been considered as a notable endeavor to improve our interaction with industry. (2) Petrobras, the largest corporation in Brazil - The DCC/UFBA along with the training center in Technology in Industrial Automation (CTAI) signed a contract for a project of intelligent wells, involving Computational Intelligence technologies, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition in Images.

We also support and encourage our researchers to develop research programs that meet industries needs through the MCTI (the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation)) project grants scheme. As a result, our team has developed a number of projects with both companies and government organizations with fundraising for infrastructure, and support for RDI.
