Voluntary Researcher Program
Volunteer Researcher
The Volunteer Researcher Program at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) allows experienced academics and researchers to engage in scientific activities within graduate programs — including PPGEP — without establishing any employment relationship with the university. This initiative aims to strengthen research and foster collaboration among faculty, researchers, and students.
🧪 Modes of Participation
Volunteer researchers may contribute in the following ways:
I. Postdoctoral research internships, without an employment relationship with UFC;
II. Participation of visiting professors or researchers in graduate programs or research groups, without any employment relationship with UFC;
III. Involvement of retired UFC professors in research activities.
🔍 Important: Participation in the Volunteer Researcher Program does not constitute the role of collaborating or visiting professor as defined by CAPES for graduate programs.
