With over 70 years of history, Fundação Getulio Vargas has been
following up and contributing to the socioeconomic development
of Brazil, through the formation of some of the main national lead-
erships, dissemination of economic indices that assist in the decision-making
process of public managers and the private sector, or research developed to
guide the adoption of several public policies that are capable of transforming
society. All this work places FGV as one of the world's leading think tanks.
FGV's concern is, therefore, to be a permanent precursory institution, both
for its students and for society in general. This is reflected in its daily activities,
with the concern of its professionals for the search for innovation and pioneer-
ing in their field of expertise.
This incessant search for being at the forefront has enabled FGV to a
benchmark in education both in Brazil and abroad with its undergraduate and
graduate courses (professional Master's, academic Master's and Doctoral pro-
grams) and for its strong and constant expansion throughout the national ter-
ritory, through institutions that offer executive education courses in the most
diverse formats in the four corners of the country. Its vast educational portfo-
lio covers areas such as Public Administration and Business, Social Sciences,
Law, Economics, Applied Mathematics, and International Relations.
Brazil's borders, however, are no barriers to the diffusion and sharing of
knowledge produced in its schools and research centers. With an academic
output comparable to that of the world's most advanced institutions, FGV is a
partner of more than 200 renowned universities and research centers around
the globe.
This concern regarding the production and diffusion of knowledge is what
drives FGV and makes it an innovative institution, committed to national de-
velopment, formation of an academic elite, generation of public goods in so-
cial areas and related purposes, ensuring its economic sustainability with the
provision of quality services and a high ethical standard.
