The small number of research
units in Espírito Santo explains,
to some extent, why only 90 proj-
ects/programs were developed
within the state, namely three
possible reasons in particular:
(i) The reduced number of pro-
fessors, scholarship holders and
laboratories present in these re-
search units;
(ii) The complexity and duration
of projects and programs;
ber of projects using this Clause
is, consequently, increasing the
number of registered research
(iii) Faculty duties in other aca- units, as well as to continue ex-
demic activities.
panding the involvement of com-
panies in pursuit of the resources
under the Clause.
These points, taken as a whole,
reveal why the research units
have limited time to receive the in-
vestments under the RD&I Clause.

BOX 2 - THE ROLE OF SENAI
IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
INNOVATIVE PROJECTS
The Technology Institutes work
strongly in providing specialized
technical services in metrology
and consulting and developing
solutions based on existing tech-
nologies to create new processes
and products, through the 62 units
present in 17 Brazilian states.
Espírito Santo has a Senai Institute
of Technology in Operational Effi-
ciency, which supports companies
from Espírito Santo in the search
for a process for improvement and
technology transfer with custom-
ized solutions for optimizing re-
sources and reducing waste in the
industry. The Institute has a portfo-
lio of services focused on the fields
of metrology, consulting, research
and development and specialized
technical services.

PELO FUTURO DO TRABALHO
26
innovation institutes

innovation institutes
The evolution of projects financed
by ANP'S RD&I Clause is important
for the development of the O&G in-
dustry, standing as a fundamental
promotion strategy for the expan-
sion of the market and develop-
ment of new technologies. The Na-
tional Industrial Learning Service
(SENAI), under the organization
and management of the National
Confederation of Industries (CNI)
and Federations of Industries, is
one of the five largest professional
education complexes in the world
and the largest in Latin America
and can contribute to the advance-
ment of projects and the techno-
logical process of the industry.
In addition to offering professional
education (from initiation into tech-
nological graduation and graduate
courses), SENAI has 26 Innovation
Institutes 40 and 62 Technology
Institutes, which develop highly
complex products and processes
and offer technological services to
the industry.
Innovation Institutes are present in
the states of Rio de Janeiro (4), Ba-
hia (4), São Paulo (3), Minas Gerais
(3), Santa Catarina (3), Rio Grande
do Sul (2), Paraná (2), Pernambuco
(1), Rio Grande do Norte (1), Mato
Grosso do Sul (1), Amazonas (1)
and Pará (1). The focus of these
Institutes is applied research, de-
velopment of new products and
customized solutions, working
from the pre-competitive phase of
the innovative process to the final
stages of development, when the
new product is about to be manu-
factured by the industry.

Technical
Services
Work in diagnosis, technical as-
sistance and solution of industrial
problems is the main line of ac-
tion of the institute. Consulting in
the production process, custom-
ized according to the demand of
companies stands out.
Technological development plays
a fundamental role in gaining pro-
ductivity and operational efficien-
cy and is consolidated as a chal-
lenge for industries.
Standardized operational ser-
vices based on systematized
standards and procedures.
These services focus on increas-
ing the efficiency of production
processes and products.
