O volume <strong>de</strong>stas publicações vemaumentando regularmente nos últimos cinco anos,mas, a característica mais notável <strong>de</strong>sta produção éseu impacto, a crescente interdisciplinarida<strong>de</strong> e acolaboração interna e externa. O surgimento <strong>de</strong> novaslinhas <strong>de</strong> pesquisa que acompanham a fronteira,por exemplo em nanotecnologia e genômica,<strong>de</strong>monstram a capacida<strong>de</strong> do IQ<strong>USP</strong> para se renovarmantendo a sua tradição <strong>de</strong> excelência. Apesar dissocontinuamos a aprimorar a qualida<strong>de</strong> dos programas, dos docentes, dos funcionários não docentes e dosestudantes.O mais recente Programa do IQ<strong>USP</strong> é a criação <strong>de</strong>um Curso Noturno <strong>de</strong> Química com ênfaseAmbiental. O fortalecimento das áreas <strong>de</strong> pesquisaem ambiente e ensino da Química representam umnovo <strong>de</strong>safio para o IQ<strong>USP</strong> e mostra, mais uma vez,o compromisso <strong>de</strong>sta unida<strong>de</strong> com políticas públicascentradas no conhecimento, na formação <strong>de</strong> recursoshumanos qualificados e no <strong>de</strong>senvolvimentosustentável.

New researchprojects in, for example, nanomaterials and genomicsaccompany global scientific ten<strong>de</strong>ncies and <strong>de</strong>monstratethat scientific evolution at the Institute maintainsthe tradition of excellence. The quality of thePrograms and the training of both aca<strong>de</strong>mic and nonteachingstaff continue to be improved.The most recent Program of the IQ<strong>USP</strong> is anun<strong>de</strong>rgraduate professional evening course in chemistrywith emphasis in the environment. Strengtheningresearch in environmental chemistry and biochemistry,as well as research in chemistry teachingrepresent a new challenge for the IQ<strong>USP</strong>. At the sametime this initiative shows the commitment of our institutionwith knowledge based public policies in capacitybuilding and sustainable <strong>de</strong>velopment. In thenext four years our total number of aca<strong>de</strong>mic staffwill grow from the present 105 to 117.
