The Federal University of Goi¨¢s (UFG) is a public federal institution of ÖйúAƬ of teaching and research with campuses in different cities of the state of Goi¨¢s: Goi?nia, Aparecida de Goi?nia, Jata¨ª, Catal?o and Goi¨¢s. The largest campus (Campus Samambaia) is located in Goi?nia, the capital of the state. Goi?nia has approximately 1.25 million inhabitants and is located in the midwest region of Brazil, approximately 209km from Bras¨ªlia, which makes it a reference point for industry and telecommunications. The implementation of several projects at UFG, due largely to the strengthening of relations between UFG and the government (federal, state and municipal), has helped the university to grow. The wide range of academic programmes in humanities, applied social sciences, linguistics, arts and letters, exact and earth sciences, engineering, biological sciences, agricultural sciences and health sciences has made UFG a large research institution and producer of scientific knowledge. Its extension and cultural projects are combined with teaching and research to establish a partnership between the academic world and society.
