Abstract

This draft document presents the registration and contextualization of the establishment of a collaborative space between a large metal-mechanical industry and a federal public university, in line with our academic coordination as federal public servants. The proposed space aims to provide an environment conducive to technological innovation and the development of immediate practical solutions to challenges faced by the metal-mechanical industry. Additionally, it seeks to train and develop qualified human resources in engineering, particularly focused on the metal-mechanical sector, through postgraduate programs and collaboration with junior companies. This collaborative space represents an additional milestone in the integration between academia and the productive or industrial sector, allowing the exchange of knowledge and experiences among researchers, students, and industry professionals. By promoting this interaction, it is intended to stimulate the generation of applied technological innovations and the formation of highly skilled professionals aligned with market demands.
