Where the Spots Are

In total, there are 300 open spots, and each candidate must choose a field of action. Universities and federal institutes from north to south of the country are included. Some examples:

University of Brasília (UnB) – 10 spots
Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM) – 14 spots
Federal University of Maranhão (UFMA) – 16 spots
Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) – 15 spots
Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) – 10 spots
Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) – 11 spots

The complete list includes 25 institutions, ensuring the national coverage of the course.

How the MEC Selection Works

The selection process will have two eliminatory stages: assessment of the research project and online questioning of the project. Only candidates who achieve a minimum score of 7 in each phase will advance.

Priority is given to public school teachers, but up to 30% of the spots may be occupied by teachers from private schools, should there be available places.

There are also provisions for affirmative actions, which vary according to each local core, including quotas for Black, indigenous, quilombola, and people with disabilities.

What Is Required to Register

To participate, the candidate must have a degree in any field and be currently working as a Philosophy teacher.

If teaching another subject, it is mandatory to have a degree in Philosophy. Additionally, it is necessary to prove a teaching link in a Basic Education school, attach personal documents, a degree recognized by the MEC, a statement of teaching activity, and a research project.

Internet access and a computer are also necessary, as some stages occur online.

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.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

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.

Two African countries will inaugurate in 4 days an 825-meter bridge suspended 90 meters high over a reservoir — it is the largest of three bridges of a megaproject that will supply millions of people.

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.

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.

The reactors of the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford produce 600 megawatts and could power an entire city.

As if a faucet had been opened in the ocean, warm water begins to reach Antarctica, breaks through the natural protection of the ice shelves, and intrigues scientists about the upcoming impacts on the global climate.

Brazil enters the era of engineered wood buildings alongside Canada, Sweden, Austria, and Norway, betting on a technology that promises faster construction, fewer emissions, and fire resistance that challenges concrete and steel.

War in Iran causes China to sell solar panels like never before, pushing 68 gigawatts to the world in just one month, while Middle Eastern oil becomes a global headache for suppliers desperate for alternatives.
