Each candidate must consult the specific announcement, as the rules and requirements may vary between programs.

National Network of Universities and Scientific Societies

The courses will be offered by a wide network of public universities and, in addition, will involve the participation of scientific societies, such as the Brazilian Society of Physics (SBF) and the Brazilian Society of Mathematics (SBM).

Thus, the program not only integrates academic research and pedagogical practice but also directly addresses the demands of ongoing training.

Valuing the Teaching Profession

With this initiative, MEC not only stimulates teaching careers but also provides more conditions for teachers to develop professionally. Furthermore, according to Capes, the program seeks to value the teaching profession and, consequently, provide quality training at universities recognized for excellence.

Thus, by opening these positions in 2026, MEC reinforces its strategy of investing in basic education while also supporting the professionals who work daily in the classroom.

Valuing the Teaching Profession

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Cristiano Ronaldo builds a billion-dollar mansion in Portugal with 54,000 square feet, a 3-acre plot facing the Atlantic, private spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and an estimated value of an impressive R$ 385 million.

Portugal installs two giant underwater sockets to draw water from the Atlantic and create a €107.9 million desalination plant in the Algarve capable of producing 43.2 million liters of potable water per day with ocean intake 2 km from the coast.

A satellite from NASA and the French agency captured from space the largest wave ever measured in the open sea, a wall of water nearly 20 meters high generated by Storm Eddie in the North Pacific in December 2024, as tall as a six-story building.

End of the bathroom built from scratch on-site: construction industry enters the era of factory-made modules with plumbing, electrical, toilet, sink, tiling, and complete finishing to be hoisted, fitted, and connected to the house as a ready-to-use bathroom.

More than 10 tons of garbage are removed from Vila da Barca during a revitalization operation in Belém, in an initiative that combines urban cleaning, structural recovery, and environmental improvements to transform one of the most well-known areas of the capital of Pará.

An American tower with 54 rotating barrels kills entire swarms of kamikaze drones in less than 3 seconds without needing radar, while Brazil still spends millions on systems dependent on detectable electronics that are easy to bypass in real conflict.

Five cities in the North of Santa Catarina may once again be connected by passenger train after 35 years, in an effort that brings together municipal associations, the Joinville Chamber, and CIMU to reactivate the EF-485 and reduce the number of cars on the BR-280 and BR-116 highways.
