Unicamp was officially founded on October 5, 1966, the day its cornerstone was laid. Even in a recent university context, in which the oldest Brazilian university is just over seven decades old, Unicamp can be considered a young institution that has already established a strong tradition in teaching, research and relations with society. The State Education Council authorizes the installation and operation of the Institutes of Biology, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry and the Faculties of Engineering, Food Technology, Science and Nursing, and the Technical Colleges.
