The Program PRH 2.1 is developed on the premises of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), funded by the Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás e Biocombustíveis (ANP), and managed by the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP).

The program aims to train human resources in the field of engineering to work in automation, control, and instrumentation applied to oil, gas, biofuels, and other renewable energy sources, focusing on digital transformation and the energy transition. The objective is to qualify professionals who can solve technological challenges, understand the relationship between digitalization and the energy sector, and influence the cultural and regulatory transition in favor of digital and intelligent energy systems in companies and industries.
As a result, it is expected that graduates of the program will have high employability in the field, allowing the sector to have excellent and qualified professionals to keep the national industry at the forefront of technology.
The PRH 02/UFSC program is derived from previous programs (originally PRH 34, later PRH 2.1), which focused on automation, control, instrumentation, and optimization of operations in the oil and gas sector. UFSC has been working on these topics, which are the basis of digital transformation, for over 40 years and created the first Control and Automation Engineering course in Brazil. This proposal is undergoing a strategic evolution to prioritize a training track with disciplines more aligned with artificial intelligence and energy transition.
