2. Some numbers on Brazil 8.5 million km² 191 million 3,7 US$ trillion 1.16 % GDP in 2010 232,000 in 2010 (headcount) 2.7 % of world scientific production Total area Population GDP (2010) Investment in R&D Scientists and researchers Scientific papers

3. Historical Notes on Brazilian S&T • Until Second World War Brazil had a very small number of scientists and little institutional base for research • Industry was incipient, mostly in traditional sectors. • Federal S&T agencies created in the 1950´s. (CNPq and CAPES) • Graduate programs and full time faculty positions established only in the 1960´s. • FINEP (Agency financing engineering projects) created in the 1970´s. • Economic instability in the 1980’ s and 1990’s. • Recovery and expansion in the recent decade.
