Unicamp offers several scientific initiation programs aimed at high school and higher education students, with the objective of providing learning of scientific techniques and methods, personal and professional development, critical thinking, awakening scientific vocation and encouraging potential talents.
They also aim to awaken young talents for scientific research and artistic activities, and to enable contact between indigenous, quilombola, riverside and extractivist students with academic life and with the professors, researchers and students who make up Unicamp's university community.
