The research in GEPI - group of studies and research on interdisciplinarity.

Abstract

On January 12, 2016 the Dean of Graduate Studies at the Catholic University of São Paulo sent us the Act. 01/2016 containing the procedures for institutional certification of the research groups and their leaders. This Act has accelerated the process of organization and systematization of GEPI - Group of Study and Research on Interdisciplinarity in terms of the specification of the research line, the group's objectives, placement of the group members (researchers and students) and the definitions of the research projects by researchers. One of the resolutions establishes the maximum number of researchers per groups, namely, ten (10); each researcher must develop a project and present its results annually. It also establishes that the members of the group, both researchers and students, must have a link with the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo - PUCSP.  The students are automatically placed because they have already been developing their Master or Doctorate research projects under the guidance of Professor Ivani Fazenda. The placement of researchers has taken into account the ones who have been doing   their researches, all of them mentioned in this article and the Ph.D. researchers who have their research projects under analysis.
