The National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq, Portuguese: Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, earlier Conselho Nacional de Pesquisas) is a government agency under the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Brazilian federal government.
The CNPq was started in 1951, and has a leading role in conducting and formulating research about technology, science and also innovation.
The goal[2] of the CNPq is to promote science, technology and innovation and act in the formulation of their policies which thereby will lead to taking the frontier in knowledge, national sovereignty and sustainable development.
By doing this, they are on the road to being recognized for their excellence and development not only in these elements but for the country as a whole.
