As a Social Organization, CNPEM is supervised by the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MCTI) and collaborates with other partners in the National Science, Technology, and Innovation System to tackle strategic challenges and emerging demands. With support from the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC), CNPEM also runs Ilum School of Science, offering a free undergraduate program in Science and Technology.<\/p>\n

CNPEM operates in fields such as nanotechnology, biosciences, biotechnology, bio-renewables, and scientific instrumentation, providing infrastructure and expertise to the scientific community while promoting internal research, innovation, training, and outreach. Additionally, it is responsible for Sirius,one of the most advanced synchrotron light sources in the world, now expanding with funds from the New Growth Acceleration Program (Novo PAC), which also supports the construction of Orion, a maximum biosafety laboratory complex.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″]
