PONTIFICAL CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO

(PUC-RIO)

WELCOME TO PUC-RIO

HISTORY AND MISSION

PUC-Rio was the first private higher education institution in the country, created by the Catholic

• Church. It was founded in 1940 by Cardinal D.

Sebastião Leme and Father Leonel Franca, S.J., and in 1946 it acquired the status of university. The title of Pontifical was conferred in 1947 — a rare honor conceded by the Vatican establishing a special link between this university and the Pope. In 1955, the institution moved to the present campus.

HISTORY AND MISSION

Beyond providing education, PUC-Rio undertook the task of assisting the community, based on Christian ethical values, solidarity and human respect. It represents a space for achievement,

• vercoming

challenges and development of its students. The university operates under the supervision of the Society of Jesus and under the supreme authority of the Archbishop

• f

Rio de Janeiro as its Grand Chancellor. PUC-Rio is a non-profit philanthropic institution, a communitarian university. It is thus a Catholic university based on Christian humanistic principles.

HISTORY AND MISSION

It welcomes students, staff members, teachers, researchers and administrators

• f

all religions, nationalities, ethnic groups and social classes. The referential starting-point

• f

PUC-Rio is the complete development of the human being in two main perspectives: the philosophical and the

• theological. Besides that, it is a research oriented

institution that focuses primarily in the development of academic and scientific knowledge. PUC-Rio is, above all, a community

• f

people, professors, students and staff members united by a common interest in seeking the truth and acting in accordance with the needs of the society and with the ever changing world around us.

HISTORY AND MISSION

• In 1991, the International Programs Office was
• created. Now it is called Central Coordination for

International Cooperation (CCCI).

• In

2014, PUC-Rio granted the status of a public non-state institution — a communitarian university.

• Today PUC-Rio has Master and PhD degrees in all

departments, except for Biology.

• The first computer science center in a Brazilian

university — the Rio Datacentro (RDC) — was created in 1972.

RioBotz

RioBotz is the Robotic Competition team from PUC-Rio

• university. It was created in January 2003, initially only

focused on combat robots, but now competing as well in other categories such as Humanoid Robots and Robot Sumo. The team is formed by control, mechanical and electrical engineering undergraduate students from PUC-Rio. The objective of the team is to allow the students to learn in practice about several areas involved in an engineering project, such as mechanic and electronic design, materials science, programming, team work and marketing. They have the opportunity to apply in practice the concepts learned in the classroom. They get the know-how to complement the know-why. The technology involved in building combat robots can be applied in several areas, such as in wheel chairs, inspection robots for the oil and nuclear industries, and even rescue or anti-bomb robots.

Environmental Agenda

The environmental crisis is a global and local reality that must be faced by all of us who inhabit the planet earth. The university must collaborate in the production of knowledge, through teaching and research, looking for sustainable solutions and promoting creative actions that might help society with adaptive processes derived from the climate changes and with the search of minimizing resolutions for current and future socioenvironment impacts. Due to this challenge, we have to put our efforts toward the construction of systems and alternatives ecologically correct and socially fair and solidary. The power and testimony of local actions are extremely important to illuminate and enrich global proposals of planetary sustainability, contributing to changes

• f

habits and construction process of new habits (ethos). Only this way we will realize the utopia of a world where environmental and social relations are really more balanced to current generations and to those who in the future will succeed us.

Environmental Agenda

In this local action perspective, we believe in the proposal strength of PUC-Rio Environmental Agenda. The Agenda is a result

• f

a long discussion and reflexion process

• f

a competent group composed by teachers and students, from different centers and departments, coordinated by PUC-Rio Environment Interdisciplinary Center (NIMA). We are aware of academic difficulties in summarizing and synthetizing convergent and divergent aspects from the various scientific knowledges. On the other hand, we believe that due to the union of different efforts we will put in practice actions that contribute to the future construction of a truly sustainable university. The socioenvironment issue is a reference capable of gathering diverse ideas and to suggest practical and reasonable solutions in order to improve patterns that control the fundamental principles of social and academic excellence institution, such as PUC-Rio. The Environmental Agenda is, above all, a symbolic expression of the institution collective effort of looking for sustainable alternatives in short and long terms. Its symbolic force is a clear demonstration that the local testimony is fundamental to mirror the global wish of a planet more ecologically well balanced and socially fairer and greater in solidarity.
