The Program
The Postgraduate Master’s Program in Regional Development (PPGMDR) was created in 2006, being the first in the area of applied social sciences in Amapá. The Program contributed to the expansion of graduate studies in the State, training several professors who are now at the forefront of other graduate courses, as well as technicians, researchers and professionals who are protagonists in the debate on the development of the Amazon and Amapá.
In the 2023-2027 Strategic Planning process, it was proposed to change the name of the Program, in order to encourage greater political and social insertion, converging on the sustainability of the Amazon as a transversal theme to teaching, research and extension. On April 13, 2023, CAPES approved the name change to the Graduate Program in Sustainable Amazon Development (PPGDAS).
