Center of Informatics - CIn
Innovation and excellence are terms that are common to UFPE's Center of Informatics (CIn), one of the most respected academic institutions for technology in Latin America and one of the top five in Brazil. In over 30 years of existence, CIn has become an economic and technological development nucleus for the state and a reference for the country as a whole. Today its faculty consists of 50 professors – 43 of them with PhDs – who teach 1,000 students on both undergraduate and graduate (strictu sensu and latu sensu) programs.
The Center's production is the result of intense research from more than 50 R&D projects, besides partnerships with major national and international institutes such as INRIA and the University of Paris VI (France), the Universities of Oxford, Kent and Edinburgh (United Kingdom), the Stevens Institute of Technology (US), the University of Toronto (Canada), the International Institute for Software Technology (United Nations, Macau) and the University of Tübingen (Germany), among others.
Furthermore, the triumphs at CIn are not just limited to its faculty members, but are also reached by the students. In 2005, a group of students from the Center achieved first place in the Office Designer category of the Imagine Cup, held in Japan . Another team from CIn came fourth in the Software Design category, competing with 38 other teams from a host of different countries.
CIn is also proud of the social relevance of its activities, maintaining a close partnership with leading companies in the market – from where new challenges are identified that can serve as the guide and fuel for further research. In addition, the Center also pre-incubates projects formulated by its students and alumni. About 20 companies have already been created with CIn's support.
Pitang operates in close conjunction with CIn, thereby allowing its projects to benefit from new technological knowledge and facilitating the adoption of differentiated and innovative tools and processes. |
