Our program has a traditional institutional and material infrastructure, offering various types of academic-institutional support so that our students have the best possible conditions for the development of their research and training.

The Institute of Psychology is housed in seven buildings with classrooms, teaching rooms, teaching and research laboratories, customer services and administrative services.
The Program has an interconnected computer network that serves its teachers and students through access with an individual login and password.
For this, students have access to the Pro-Student room, which has three computers (connected to the internet), a printer and a scanner.
Postgraduate students also have access to the computer infrastructure of the supervisors’ laboratories.
Part of the PROAP funding received by the Program is used for events, article translation and printing.
The Institute of Psychology has two spaces specially designed to enable distance learning using Information and Communication Technologies:
a. the Carolina Bori Auditorium, which holds around 200 people and offers resources for recording and/or live broadcasting of events;
b. Room 18 in Block G, which is designed for defenses and has videoconferencing equipment;

The “Dante Moreira Leite” Library is recognized as a Reference Center for Latin American Psychology. It has three group study rooms; research bays with new computers (installed in January 2013); a training room, equipped with nine computers (installed in January 2013) and a multimedia projector; an auditorium, with capacity for 30 people, equipped with a computer, 42-inch TV and video conference equipment; a video library equipped with a TV, DVD player and Blu-ray player, with capacity for up to four people.
Students can access the University Libraries’ catalogs, consult databases online, reserve and renew materials 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
It’s worth remembering that with the VPN System, USP students, teachers and researchers can access the databases and electronic journals on their computers as if they were using a USP computer.
The Library hosts the IPUSP Memory Center, coordinated by an Interdepartmental Committee.
The purpose of the Memory Center is to gather, organize and disseminate documents that revive IPUSP’s memory.

The USP website also offers the “Researcher’s Space” (https://www.aguia.usp.br/apoio-pesquisador/) where you can access funding agencies and opportunities, among other possibilities.
