INNOVATION IS PART OF OUR HISTORY

 

FEEVALE TODAY

 

 

Feevale was founded in 1969, from the community mobilization, with the goal of offering to people living in Novo Hamburgo and its outskirts the opportunity of getting a higher education development. Since then, the Institution is defined by a "knowledge- building" space, reaffirming its commitment with projects which promote regional development, quality of life and general enhancement for its communities’ participants.

Feevale assumes the dedication to teaching excellence, research and extension courses as a way of contributing to sustainability and to social justice. The Institution also has the mission of promoting knowledge production and its democratization.

 

Internationalization

 

One of Feevale's targets is to develop the internationalization in the academic studies, offering  up-to-dated knowledge and allowing the access in foreign educational networks. To form professionals who have global skills, and who are able to act in a borderless world, the Institution has the goal to make international cooperation relevant for the students and professors' development as well as in all  research fields.

 

Nowadays, Feevale has cooperation agreements with nearly 60 academic institutions, placed in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Colombia, South Korea, Spain, The United States, Finland, England, Italy, Mexico, Mozambique, Portugal, Uruguay and Paraguay. The international partnerships open new academic places and offer technological and scientific cooperative actions, several interchanges modalities, shared courses, cultural interaction and other academic actions with the international partnership net.

 

EXTENSION

The extension programs is managed by the Community and Extension Programs Department – PROACOM, through the nonstop formation (several courses directed to  complementary and up-to-dated courses and events), talented agency (students’ insertion to the professional market through internships, voluntary work and jobs), services, culture and arts, sports, and extended projects to the community. In fact, the relation with the community is the foundation of the institutional and extension policies, and it constitutes one of the base elements to the institution identity which associates other three extension principles: social relevance, whole formation and knowledge.

 

This relationship shows the priorities that will guide Feevale, an institution which is aware of its responsibility and its commitment with the society. Thus, Feevale has been constantly putting into practice social responsibility policies and varied projects and actions. Nowadays, there are around 53 extension projects turned to the community needs.
