In 2022, FAPESP celebrated 60th anniversary of the enactment of Decree 40,132 by São Paulo State Governor Carlos Alberto de Carvalho Pinto. He signed the decree on May 23, 1962, to approve FAPESP’s bylaws and authorize it to start operating immediately. The official ceremony, held on May 25, was attended by prominent members of the scientific community, political leaders, rectors, pro-rectors, heads of research institutions, corporate executives and researchers, among others. […] In the 60 years since its inception, FAPESP awarded 180,000 scholarships to support the education and training of new researchers, and 130,000 research grants, almost a third of which were for robust, high-value, long-term projects. It also spearheaded major scientific and technological changes in Brazil, such as implementation of the internet, genomics, and bioinformatics.
