There are several publications, both nationally and internationally: articles published in high-impact scientific journals, books and book chapters that become references in their respective areas of knowledge. This qualified scientific production is added to the innovative technical and technological products that are the result of an intense and recurrent work of articulation between research and extension.

Impact on the formation of new generations: the NPGA acts, in a strategic way, in the formation of many managerial, professional and academic staff. The performance of NPGA graduates has been widely and positively highlighted in important institutions in the public, private and civil society sectors.

They are government agencies, private companies, civil society organizations, foundations, cooperatives, associations, community enterprises, Brazilian universities and universities from five continents. This variety of agreements signals the vitality of the NPGA's performance and its high institutional reputation.
