Federal University System of Brazil

The Federal University System of Brazil (Sistema Federal de Educação Superior) comprises numerous public universities across the country, funded and managed by the federal government. These institutions are responsible for providing higher education and research in various fields, promoting accessibility and academic excellence nationwide.

This system aims to advance knowledge, support innovation, and foster social and economic development through accessible, publicly funded university education.
