Research at the State University of Campinas - UNICAMP
Unicamp is an autonomous state university whose budget is linked to ICMS revenue from the State of S�o Paulo. In addition to these resources, the university raises funds from state, federal and private sources. Through contracts and agreements to carry out funded research projects, cooperative research, training, services and extension activities in general.
UNICAMP's postgraduate courses train high-level researchers and professionals. Postgraduate students and their advisors generate vigorous scientific, technological, cultural and artistic production. It is worth highlighting the significant number of more than 700 doctoral theses that are completed annually at UNICAMP.
Four major areas cover teaching, research and extension activities: Exact Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Geosciences); technological
(Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Food Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, and Architecture); biomedical
(Medicine, Biology, Dentistry, and Physical Education); It is humanities and arts (Philosophy, Social Sciences, History, Economics, Linguistics, Literature, Education, and Arts). Unicamp comprises 20 teaching and research units, numerous interdisciplinary research centers and centers, and a vast hospital complex, in addition to a series of support units in a universe where around 30.000 people live and countless research is carried out. TABLE I briefly shows this reality.

2002 Census - Research Groups at UNICAMP - CNPq
According to recent data from the 2002 Census - Research Groups - CNPq, research at UNICAMP is fundamentally structured around 614 groups with 1.994 doctors working, according to the CNPq categorization into six areas: Agricultural Sciences Sciences, Biological Sciences, Engineering and Computer Sciences, Exact and Earth Sciences, Humanities, and Health Sciences. UNICAMP is the second national institution in terms of the largest number of doctoral researchers and the third in the largest number of research groups. The stratification of research groups at UNICAMP is divided into 68% consolidated groups, 27% consolidating groups and 5% emerging groups. These data confirm the balance and quality of the research activities carried out at UNICAMP.
This data can be viewed in Tables II to V and in Graphs I and II below.
