Program Infrastructure
Over the past few years, UNIFEI has promoted significant improvements in the physical infrastructure for teaching, research, and outreach.
POSMARH offers various laboratories, computer resources, and study and research spaces for students and faculty.
Among them, the laboratories directly linked to the program stand out:
- CEQUAM – Center for Studies in Environmental Quality: provides technical and scientific support to UNIFEI’s postgraduate programs with an environmental focus; strengthens research groups at the University; expands the professional and scientific training of undergraduate students; and assists companies seeking quality and environmental certification – ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 – in determining the standards for the indicators necessary for certification. In this context, the aim is to control, evaluate, and protect natural resources affected by growing industrial activities in the region, as well as extractive activities.
- The Center for Weather and Climate Studies and Forecasting of Minas Gerais (CEPreMG): the first reference center for weather and climate studies in the region, monitors and provides weather and climate forecasts for the entire state of Minas Gerais, focusing on the city of Itajubá and neighboring cities. CEPreMG is the main laboratory for teaching activities for the student body of Unifei and functions as a research center in Atmospheric Sciences, hosting research groups with close national and international collaborations. The Center works in close collaboration with the most important weather forecasting center in the southern hemisphere, the Center for Weather and Climate Forecasting of the National Institute for Space Research (CPtEC/INPE), and with the National Center for Monitoring and Alerts of Natural Disasters (CEMADEN), both linked to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI). Municipal and state Civil Defense agencies are important partners in this proposal for services and care for the population.
- National Reference Center for Small Hydroelectric Power Plants (CERPCH):CERPCH’s main objective is to promote the use of water resources for energy in small power plants, in addition to others such as: collecting, systematizing, disseminating and spreading scientific, technological, economic-commercial, socio-environmental information, studies and programs; promoting research and training programs for researchers, designers, manufacturers, entrepreneurs and end users; monitoring scientific and technological development and promoting the exchange of information with institutions in Brazil and abroad; promoting and participating in national and regional events; promoting the publication of journals, books, manuals, catalogs, bulletins, technical-scientific productions, videos and media; providing services such as studies, feasibility analyses, inventories and other basic projects to benefit the creation of new ventures in the area; providing support to educational institutions so that new forms and technologies for harnessing renewable energy can be developed.
- Laboratory of Environmental Education and Sustainability (LEAS): The laboratory was selected by the Ministry of the Environment – MMA (Department of Environmental Education) to become a Green Room, the first in the region, working with research and outreach. The Green Room Project consists of encouraging the implementation of socio-environmental spaces to act as potential Centers for Environmental Information and Training. The basic dimension of any Green Room is the provision and democratization of environmental information and the pursuit of maximizing the possibilities of the distributed materials, contributing to the construction of a space that, in addition to access to information, offers the possibility of reflection and construction of environmental thought/action. They can dedicate themselves to projects, actions and educational programs focused on socio-environmental issues, as well as fulfilling a dynamic role, in an articulating and integrating perspective, enabling initiatives that promote the effective participation of various segments of society in environmental management, following an agenda of action permeated by educational actions that move towards sustainability.
In addition to classrooms, video conferencing rooms, and the library, the program utilizes several UNIFEI laboratories for the development of its activities:
- Laboratory for Physical-Chemical Control and Analysis;
- Microbiology Laboratory;
- Sanitation Laboratory;
- Limnology Laboratory;
- Gas Chromatography Laboratory;

- Hydrogeology Laboratory;
- Hydraulics Laboratory;
- Pump Testing Laboratory;
- Hydromechanical Laboratory for Small Hydroelectric Plants;
- Water Data Telemetry Laboratory;
- Acoustics Laboratory;
- Weather Forecasting and Climate Studies Laboratory;
- Meteorology Laboratory;
- Laboratory for Environmental Education and Sustainability.
