A abertura de unidades federais de ensino superior no interior do Brasil e seus desdobramentos sobre os APL’S

Abstract

The opening of federal higher education units (HEU) in municipalities in the interior of Brazil linked to the presence of Local Productive Arrangements in these territories can be perceived with inclusive objectives of educational opportunity and development for the regions where they are allocated. As a result of this, it was intended in this dissertation to understand how the interactions between higher education institutions and the local productive segments are presented from the perspective of the Knowledge Economy. For that, we proceeded with the mapping of which are the municipalities of the interior that simultaneously have the presence of Federal University, Federal Institute with offer of higher education and APL. In the possession of the sample, the direct research, through semi-structured interview, began between august 2016 and february 2017 with the actors involved. From the observed results, it is evident that most of the federal HEU that made up the sample of this study need, in particular, to direct greater efforts to approach the different actors that constitute the productive agglomerations through, among other things, local partnerships and cooperation, research development, extension practices and innovations applied to the reality of each place, especially considering their demands and particularities. It is also inferred that the effects observed in each campus, to which it appears in the first analysis, are derived from the social capital present in the region where they are inserted.
