This Tuesday, 30 November, the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) promoted the official launch of the UFSC Observatory, a platform for transparency and management support that integrates, in a single environment, data and information from various domains of the institution. The University now expects to foster the internationalization of the Observatory, present the platform in other languages and increase partnerships with other institutions.

The online ceremony was opened by the Rector, Ubaldo Cesar Balthazar, who greeted those present and shared an overview of the Observatory. “The purpose of this platform is to provide an overview of the most varied topics, relevant not only to university management but also to the academic community, control bodies and society as a whole.” The Observatory debuts this Tuesday with more than 300 indicators on 21 areas of activity at UFSC, and will be gradually expanded. One of the areas presented is internationalization, which includes data on international cooperation agreements, exchanges and partner institutions. Access the internationalization panel here.
