According to Governor Flávio Dino, Fapema will be responsible for announcing the calls for proposals in the future. The projects will be developed by institutions in Maranhão such as UFMA, UEMA, UemaSul, IEMA, and other private institutions.

All will be invited by the entity to participate. Thus, it is believed that the Itaqui Port will receive contributions from researchers to improve its activities and grow as an encourager of projects, generating jobs and income.

President of EMAP, Ted Lago, emphasized that through this investment, the Itaqui Port, which is considered a hub in logistics and economy, can also become a hub of knowledge in port technology. Ted states that the project is innovative not only for São Luís or Maranhão but for all of Brazil.

In addition to the president of EMAP and the state governor, the president of Fapema, André Santos, states that the program for the Itaqui Port is a two-way street, generating benefits for the entire port system and the entire research society in the state.

The opportunity for researchers in the state to access essential resources makes this specialization possible, not only for professors but also for master’s and doctorate students and even high school students, such as IEMA and IFMA.
