We are finishing another academic year, there were many achievements, among the difficulties faced by public institutions in recent years, especially post-pandemic. At the University of International Integration of Afro-Brazilian Lusofonia (Unilab), it has been no different. Therefore, it is important that we celebrate our victories, advances and daily achievements, as a collective and shared action within higher management, with the rectory, vice-rector, pro-rectors, directors, coordinators, servers, teachers, collaborators and students who build this public space every day.
It is noteworthy here that Unilab, as a Public, Free, Internalized and International Federal University, has the mission of guaranteeing access to quality public education, which is no easy task. And within this perspective of contributing to the strengthening of higher education in the country, Unilab set itself the challenge of growing and expanding its offer of undergraduate and postgraduate education in 2023, articulating different fronts of actions that directly benefit teaching, research and extension.
In this sense, in this retrospective, important actions carried out with a focus on institutional strengthening are highlighted. Such actions were only possible due to the committed performance of those who work in higher management within the scope of Unilab and the support of the academic community. Therefore, the objective is to give feedback to this community on the work developed throughout 2023.
