Applications and the submission of supporting documents must be made exclusively through the official Sementes Program website, where the complete notice and the list of required documents are also available.

The process is 100% online, facilitating access for candidates from different regions.

The approved candidates for the Sementes Program will be announced on December 8, 2025. The start of classes is scheduled for February 19, 2026, in a fully online format.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

The end of the traditional bathroom cabinet: new trend saves space, makes cleaning easier, and gives the environment a more modern look in 2026

Forget the brick: A company from Santa Catarina has created a recycled plastic block that eliminates the need for cement and mortar, assembled like interlocking modules, and according to the manufacturer, is more resistant than conventional brick and concrete block.

Already authorized in some European countries, the so-called plastic heart adapts to each patient’s physical activities and, according to scientists, could transform the treatment of heart diseases in the coming decades and increase survival chances around the world.

The oil company Eni discovered a giant gas field at the bottom of the Indonesian sea with an estimated volume in trillions of cubic feet.
