RESUMO

This dissertation deals with the trajectory of graduate education at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE). The main objective was to identify the reasons that led INPE to create their own structures to train researchers, analyzing the means by which the Institute has implemented such a task, and the impacts of these activities. The research shows the running of the National Program Space Activities (PNAE) and related policies, and the role played by INPE in training specialists over the past four decades. The study identifies and analyses the main objectives and strategies for building the post-graduation core at INPE, as well as the academic trajectory and the destination of the former graduates (alumni), and the inclusion of women in the programs. It presents a strategic reflection on the characteristic of space activities for the country and the main goals of space policy for the establishment of scientific and technological skills that will enable the country to work reach autonomy, for which the training and improvement of human resources are essential. A distinguishing marc in the Institute graduate studies is the alliance between research, development and education in a process driven by the interaction between research, practical experience and action. It presents a reflection on the emergence of new ideas on ways of producing knowledge and new roles for science and technology and the role of the core of education in this context. The results confirm the importance of the role played by the graduate programs offered by INPE on the training of a critical mass of space researchers as well as on its contribution to reach the level Brazil has today in the field of space research development.
