Em 1950 foi fundada a Universidade do Distrito Federal, atual Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). Ao longo desses anos, a UERJ cresceu e firmou-se como uma das principais universidades do país. Sua importância no cenário acadêmico nacional pode ser atestada pela qualidade da formação superior que oferece, pela produção científica de ponta, pelas centenas de projetos de extensão que desenvolve, pela promoção da cultura e pelos valiosos serviços prestados à população.
Sua preocupação com o atendimento aos seus variados públicos e com o aprimoramento constante de seus serviços pode ser exemplificada pelo pioneirismo na criação de uma Ouvidoria. A UERJ foi a primeira universidade pública do Rio de Janeiro a criar esta instância de exercício da cidadania. Como instituição pública, sua missão está pautada nos conceitos da igualdade e pluralidade, sendo precursora também na implantação da reserva de vagas para ingresso pelo vestibular. |

A Filosofia dos cursos da Faculdade Nacional – FINAC – é a de buscar uma educação integrada à sociedade. A instituição estará sintonizada com essa sociedade no sentido de perceber seus anseios, suas demandas e suas alternâncias de percurso. A Integração escola-sociedade não significa que a FINAC será mera receptora de problemas ou fornecedoras de soluções, mas, principalmente, deverá ser uma gestora de idéias e de conhecimentos que contribuam para mudanças sociais.
Um outro aspecto importante dessa filosofia é a valorização da cidadania, de buscar formar cidadãos conscientes e ativos, comprometidos com sua história e com a sociedade, buscando sempre melhorá-la, através de ações e posturas ética.
Um terceiro aspecto é a crença na ação transformadora do conhecimento. Um bom profissional deve possuir, além dom instrumental de seu ofício, uma sólida formação científica. Mais ainda, essa formação técnico-científica não deve se esgotar no curso de graduação. A competência científica e profissional é um projeto para toda a vida. Se o aprendizado contínuo já podia ser encarado como um pressuposto básico do bom profissional, ele se tornou um fator de sobrevivência de qualquer profissional neste mundo globalizado, complexo e competitivo em que vivemos, com suas constantes mutações tecnológicas e sociais.

A idéia da criação da Universidade de Fortaleza, concebida pelo industrial Edson Queiroz, empresário já estabelecido no ramo da agropecuária, gás, indústria metalúrgica e telecomunicações, deu-se em um contexto de expectativas e apreensão nos idos de 1970, quando o Brasil enfrentava uma das maiores crises no ensino superior devido à reduzida oferta de vagas.
No Ceará o quadro não era diferente: o número de vagas nos poucos cursos universitários era ofertado apenas por duas instituições públicas. A evasão de muitos jovens para outros estados, em busca da complementação de seus estudos, era inevitável, pois nos grandes centros urbanos outras instituições de ensino superior acenavam com acolhida às suas aspirações. |

Various laboratories study bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, multidrug treatments for AIDS and genetic causes of cancer. Others are devoted to understanding the brain–how it develops during embryonic growth; how it makes sense of sights, sounds and smells; and what happens when Alzheimer’s disease develops. In addition, faculty focus their research on human genetics, molecular biology, neuroscience and protein chemistry.
