About UFRGS
Universidade Federal
do Rio Grande do Sul
"Best Federal University in Brazil”
UFRGS has the highest IGC (National Academic Index) 2015-2021 among Brazilian federal universities
Porto Alegre �State of Rio Grande do Sul
3
UFRGS is located in Porto Alegre, capital of Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state in the country that borders with Uruguay and Argentina.

Birthplace
4
Porto Alegre was founded in 1772 by Portuguese immigrants from the Azores region.
During the 19th century, POA has received lots of European immigrants (mainly from German and Italian extraction), an important factor that shaped the cultural landscape and influenced local architecture, gastronomy and other city aspects.
The local economy is very diverse, with a concentration on the service sector, but being marked by strong clusters related to the creative industry, health services and academic and innovation environments, which are fostering a rising number of startups (POA is already 3rd in the country in startups).
The city's population is around 1,488,200 inhabitants
and GDP per capita of R$ 52,149.66 while the Brazilian average is US$ 8,300.00.

The Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), was founded in 1934, as a result of the union of independent schools and institutes created during the 19th and 20th centuries.
One of the oldest institutes that formed UFRGS was the Engineering School, founded in 1896.
“1934: the creation of UFRGS”
