Agreements and Partnerships
The PPGH–UFC maintains partnerships and agreements with FUNCAP (Ceará Foundation for the Support of Scientific and Technological Development), BNB (Bank of the Northeast of Brazil), FCPC (Ceará Foundation for Research and Culture), CNPq, CAPES/PAEP, the Ministry of Education (in the case of PET–History), SECULT (Ceará State Secretariat of Culture), the State Public Archives, and the Frei Tito de Alencar Institute.
The international partnerships established by the program involve reciprocal exchange relationships and constitute promising bases currently in the process of consolidation with several institutions, including the University of Chile, the Universidad de Cuenca (Ecuador), the University of Querétaro (Mexico), and Indiana University (USA).
Older agreements and well-established partnerships (involving research activities, training projects, work missions, and joint publications) exist with Portuguese institutions (especially the University of Coimbra), Spanish institutions (mainly the University of Barcelona and the University of Seville), and French institutions (the University of Toulouse–Jean Jaurès – UT2J, the IPEALT/GRAL – Institut Pluridisciplinaire pour les Études sur l’Amérique Latine de Toulouse / Groupe de Recherche sur l’Amérique Latine, and the FRAMESPA research laboratory – UMR/CNRS 5136). These partnerships have ensured significant exchanges over recent years. In addition to the participation of UFC faculty in their seminars and conferences, professionals from these universities have been regularly present in our activities.
In addition to international partnerships and agreements, we have also established exchange and collaboration agreements with other national graduate programs. The agreement established with the Graduate Programs in History at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), and later the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT), aimed at creating a North–Northeast Network of Graduate Programs, enabled the creation of the International Seminar on History and Historiography. This event is held biennially and features the participation of leading scholars in national and international historiography.
