The Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering (PPGEE) at the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV) began its activities in March 2026 with internationalization as part of its identity. From the outset, the Program has counted on faculty members who maintain active collaborations with teaching and research institutions in Europe. These partnerships expand opportunities for joint research, co-authored publications, and scientific exchange for our students.

Our International Partners

Aalborg University (Denmark): collaboration led by Professors Heverton Augusto Pereira and Victor Pellanda Dardengo. The Danish university is an international reference in engineering and energy systems.

Czech Technical University in Prague (Czech Republic): collaboration led by Professor Alexandre dos Santos Brandão, with one of Central Europe’s most established technical universities.

University of Southampton (United Kingdom): collaboration led by Professor Leonardo Bonato Felix, with a British university known for its strong research tradition in engineering.

What This Means for PPGEE Students

Students in the Program can develop research projects in connection with international groups, gain exposure to global scientific standards, and take part in collaborative networks that broaden their training and professional prospects. The Program also encourages enrollment in courses taught in English and scientific production in cooperation with researchers abroad.

Institutional Commitment

PPGEE’s internationalization efforts are aligned with UFV’s Institutional Development Plan (PDI) and Strategic Internationalization Plan (PEI). They also contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, in particular SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
