Abstract

FAPESP's Institutional Technical Reserve has been seen by the School of Chemical Engineering (FEQ/UNICAMP) as an opportunity to update and improve the collective research infrastructure. There is an effort by the FEQ to maintain, expand and modernize its research infrastructure, even in periods of scarcity of official resources, with permanent and constant work having been carried out, employing various sources of resources. In recent years, infrastructure improvement has been prioritized with a main approach in three main aspects: improvement of the utility infrastructure to support the research activities of decentralized research laboratories; improvement of the Infrastructure of the FEQ Multi-User Laboratory (LRAC); improvement of multi-user computing infrastructure and postgraduate education infrastructure. In this proposal, it is planned to acquire accessories to multiuser utility system (water purification), videoconferencing equipment to allow streaming broadcast of meetings and thesis defenses, and consumables for chemical waste disposal.
