Abstract

This article is based on discussions about the world of work. It highlights the importance of continuing education as a fundamental factor for Brazil development. It makes a brief assessment of government measures (by the Ministry of Education, CAPES and grant agencies) seeking the inclusion of the country in a more favorable world situation regarding scientific research and innovation. It discusses the importance of the normalization of the professional Masters by CAPES and, finally, relates experiences of the Graduate Program in Interdisciplinary Local Development (PPGDL) offered by the Centro Universitário Augusto Motta (UNISUAM), located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. These experiences have sought to establish relationships among university, government, private and third sectors, in an effort to implement development projects that are sustainable.
