Universidade Federal do Paraná

Universidade Federal do Paraná is a large comprehensive public research university founded in 1912, with a statewide presence and a broad academic and research profile. Its multicampus structure links Curitiba with Paraná’s interior and coast, supporting engagement with companies, government, and community partners. Integration with the Complexo Hospital de Clínicas, a public teaching hospital operated with Ebserh, provides a platform for clinical research, advanced care, and translation into practice. Research draws on competitive support from CNPq, CAPES, FINEP, and Fundação Araucária, while the university’s innovation office manages intellectual property, licensing, technology transfer, and incubation.
