Summary
Brazil accounts for half of South America’s territory and population. Given this large scale and its federal structure, the country can be described as highly heterogeneous. In this context, universities have a crucial role in social change and mobility. Research is closely linked to university life. This chapter provides an overview of undergraduate research in Brazil and its impact on individuals, universities, and society. First, we present an historical outline of the development of the national education and higher education system. Second, we describe administrative issues and cultural impact. Third, we show examples of best practice, selecting specific disciplines and aspects. Finally, we summarize the main themes and provide an outlook on expected further developments concerning undergraduate research in Brazil.
