COWORKING SPACE OF THE PARK IS OPENED WITH A DEBATE ON UNIVERSITY ENTREPRENEURSHIP
On April 5, the UFRJ Science Park opened its coworking space with an event which promoted a debate on university entrepreneurship and its relevance for the fostering of innovation and creative economy.

UFRJ SCIENCE PARK CREATES A FANPAGE ON FACEBOOK

Our mission at the UFRJ Science Park is to stimulate the interaction between the UFRJ and the companies to transform the knowledge produced in a lab into a real asset for society. The Park’s fanpage on Facebook was setup for everyone to follow what is going on in this entrepreneurial and innovative environment. Just click Like!
