The investment growth was accompanied by an increase in the number of PhD graduates (from 8000 per year to approximately 19 000 per year in the period 2004–2015) and in the number of scientic publications, in which Brazil is currently the 13th country in the ranking of scientic publications,14 being responsible for approximately 2% of all scientic papers published in the world in 2020. However, the increasing trend in the budget for Science and Technology reversed aer 2015 and experienced a steady decline year aer year, reaching in 2021 the lowest budget in the entire history of the sector (only one-third of the total invested ten years ago).",

Funding Information: One Latin American science success in history, in terms of investment and thus knowledge generation, is Brazil.

Although part of the research in chemistry is carried out in the National Research Institutes, approximately 90% of chemistry in Brazil is associated with the 74 postgraduate programs, primarily in public universities.
