Emerging research groups are characterized by experience running non-funded research projects and scientific production that do not yet meet the criteria for consolidated groups.

The projects and the production of knowledge that research groups generate must abide by UPM’s research tracks.

Can an Emerging Group secure CNPq accreditation?

Only consolidated research groups can be listed in CNPq’s research groups directory.

Emerging research groups may become consolidated by meeting the applicable criteria.

The Research Coordination will maintain efforts in support of emerging groups for the purposes of research quality and their conversion into consolidated research groups.

Dear leader, keep your research group information updates!

UPM’s Research Coordination will keep a listing called the UPM Emerging Research Groups Directory (DGEPE-UPM) to keep records of all groups associated with the university.
