computational engineering, oxidant and antioxidant processes in biomedicine, violence, optics, bio-photonics and atomic and molecular physics, researches on carbon capture and storage, gas fuel technologies, energy and economy policies, and
studies on happiness and well-being.
– The Research Support Centers (NAPs)
12 promote greater communication and integration between the USP Units and several areas of knowledge, reinforcing joint
research, both interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary. Currently, a total of 143
NAPs bring together specialists from one or more units and agencies around
research programs of an interdisciplinary nature and/or instrumental support to
research.
– The National Institutes of Science and Technology Program (INCTs)
13 aim to
articulate and aggregate, at the national level, the best research groups in frontier
areas of science and strategic fields for the sustainable development of the country. The centers also aim to boost internationally competitive scientific research,
as well as stimulate the development of advanced scientific and technological
research associated with applications, promoting innovation, and entrepreneurship, in articulation with innovative companies in the areas of the Brazilian System
of Technology (Sibratec).
6.3 Innovation
USP’s technological innovation policy is managed by AUSPIN, the USP Innovation Agency. AUSPIN is the nucleus of Technological Innovation, responsible for
managing the innovation policy to promote the use of scientific, technological, and
cultural knowledge produced at the University. AUSPIN sites are located in São
Paulo, Bauru, Lorena, Piracicaba, Pirassununga, Ribeirão Preto, and São Carlos.
14
The Agency acts in the protection of industrial and intellectual heritage generated at
the University, performing all necessary procedures for the registration of patents,
trademarks, copyrights of books, software, and music, among other creations.
AUSPIN provides support to faculty, students, and staff in the design of projects
in partnership for better management of relations with the business sectors, as well as
to disseminate the impact and benefits of innovations developed by USP researchers.
Through business incubators, technology parks, and specific training, it promotes
entrepreneurship, offering technical support, management, and complementary training to the entrepreneur. It also works on the transfer of technologies in order to make
them available to society.
