Abstract
The National Institute of Advanced Analytical Science and Technology (INCTAA) will foster synergistic actions, within a modern inter and multi-disciplinary approach, leading to scientific advancements and technological innovations of analytical instrumentation and methods to face the challenges that arise nowadays in several fields of interest to the social and economic development of Brazil. Among these fields, it is worth citing: environment, new materials and nanotechnology (concerning its use and environmental impact, still unknown), biology, quality control of industrial products and processes (such as those of the pharmaceutical, petrochemical and fossil/renewable fuel sectors), commercialization of food and agricultural products, and forensic investigation. By meeting the demands from these various areas, the institute shall provide solutions to analytical problems of priority to the country, which will be of value to maintain the current trend of social and economic growth, by means of both a significant scientific and technology advancement and the formation of qualified human resources. The implementation of INCTAA will result in: a) formation of human resources in graduate and post-graduate levels; b) proposition and promotion of improvements in the curriculum of undergraduate courses, within the proposed multi-disciplinary approach to analytical science and technology; c) reduction of regional disparities; d) creation of an inductive environment for new and daring projects that require the involvement of the researchers and their groups in a synergistic network collaboration and e) simultaneous or anticipated actions to provide analytical support to the demand created by national technological sectors with respect to new processes and products resulting from innovative research, justifying the adjective advanced in its identification. In addition to the development of several specific short-term actions to address these goals, INCTAA shall endeavour to transfer the knowledge resulting from its lines of action to the private sector in order to improve the competitiveness of national companies. Within its scope, INCTAA will also provide various courses and training programs directed to graduate and undergraduate students, as well as technicians, in order to disseminate a contemporary vision of analytical science and technology. These courses will also serve the purpose of selecting talented students, who may be aggregated to INCTAA in the medium and long terms, or motivated to follow careers in the industry or in research centre's. INCTAA will serve as a basis to promote an intense scientific/technological cooperation among its main researchers, national and international collaborators, students, as well as industrial sectors directly or indirectly related to the institute proposal.
