Abstract

PRH-8 aims to train qualified labor to work in the oil, natural gas and biofuels industries, specifically in the areas of Biofuels and Energy Efficiency. Within this Program, scholarships will be awarded to Undergraduate, Master's and Doctorate students, in addition to the presence of a Postdoctoral Fellow and a Visiting Researcher, a specialist in the proposed training areas.The Program also foresees strong interaction with industry, whether through the improvement of human resources already existing in these industries, or through agreements and partnerships to establish new paradigms in the areas of Biofuels and Energy Efficiency.
