Why Choose UFRGS?

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

A company that drilled for oil has drilled 4.8 kilometers of rock in Utah and found a never-ending heat of 290 degrees — now it is building the world’s first next-generation commercial geothermal power plant, with 100 MW connected to the grid in June 2026.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

Now: World Bank predicts a historic 24% rise in energy in 2026, with war in the Middle East blocking Hormuz and pressuring oil, fertilizers, and inflation.

Equatorial Group achieves 2nd place in the IT Forum 2025 ranking and consolidates itself among the most innovative energy companies in the use of IT in Brazil, with a focus on digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and operational efficiency.

A wooden suspension bridge, world-famous for spectacular photos over the sea, simply disappears, leaving behind torn ropes and destroyed beams and transforming an iconic tourist spot into a scene of abandonment.

The enormous factory that marked the peak of the automotive industry in the United States produced vehicles for decades, was forgotten amidst urban decay, and met its definitive end with total demolition.

BRICS accelerates integration with the Global South, bringing together countries that already account for 30% of the world economy, one-fifth of trade, and more than half of global growth to expand markets, reduce barriers, and gain influence amid international instability.
