Abstract

Recent years have been marked by a reconfiguration of the postgraduate scenario, also in the area of Communication in Rio Grande do Sul: closing and opening of programs, when not reforms of both the faculty and research areas. New trends are emerging, including a movement toward regionalization and a movement toward professionalization of postgraduate studies. The research community is focusing its efforts on meeting demands linked to indicators of “social impact”, “regional integration”, and “internationalization”. Where are we headed? This publication brings together perspectives on the subject from the current program coordinators at PUCRS, UFRGS, UFSM, and UNIPAMPA, as well as representation from the COMPÓS board and the area committee at CNPq.
