In the 1960s, the Brazilian government sought to build modern educational, military, and administrative institutions, and the Universidade de So Paulo (USP) was born. USP was first organized by absorbing the state law school. French thinkers soon arrived on campus, and they created the “Sao Paulo School” of race relations research, led by Florestan Fernandes. However, the military regime purged most members of this group, and the USP campus grew into a hotbed of student protests.
USP is one of the largest state universities in Brazil, and the second largest private university in the country. It is a research-oriented institution, and enrolls a high percentage of doctoral students, and is one of the largest universities in Brazil. It is the only Brazilian institution that forms the majority of its doctors and masters. In fact, USP is responsible for over 50% of the state’s scientific production. It also accounts for nearly 25% of all Brazilian scientific output. It is also a center of reference for many scientific fields.
The Integrated Library System at Universidade de So Paulo houses 42 libraries. DEDALUS, the university’s online system, provides access to all library collections at once. The system is integrated with Integrated Research, a web-based database of university publications. The result is a faster academic research environment, which benefits students and researchers from around the world. There are more than 700 online journals and books available, so finding what you need doesn’t have to be difficult.

In the School of Mathematics and Physics, Tamara Davis AM has been instrumental in the development of the Dark Energy Survey, an international collaboration involving almost 500 scientists from five continents. It maps hundreds of millions of galaxie, detects thousands of supernovae, and reveals patterns in cosmic structure and explains the nature of dark energy. The research team will also publish their findings in leading scientific journals. With such success, the researchers hope to further research the area of cosmology.
In addition to collaborating with universities, research centers and other institutions are expanding their research scope to include the use of relics from the past. The University of Sao Paulo hosts the Museum of Ancient History, which houses an extensive collection of artifacts. The Museum’s relics of this time period are a unique showcase of ancient artifacts from the region. Moreover, the museum is a valuable repository of lithic technology.
