78 years of history, tradition and excellence in teaching

Inaugurated on December 20, 1944, Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) emerged with the initial objective of preparing qualified professionals for public and private administration in the country. With its vision focused on the future, FGV expanded its scope of action, going beyond administration and entering the social and economic sciences. 

Among resources, products and services, FGV promotes the socioeconomic development of Brazil through excellent education. Thus, it works continuously to increase the productivity and competitiveness of companies, as well as to improve public departments at the municipal, state and federal levels.
