Fundação Getulio Vargas’ Sao Paulo School of Economics (FGV EESP) is a center of excellence for the generation and transmission of economic knowledge. Its goal is to develop an environment for learning and public debate, guided by the national interest, contributing to the formation of an intellectual and ruling elite in Brazil.
FGV EESP is an organization guided by ethics and social responsibility. It aims to influence the national agenda, promoting sustainable and equitable economic development.
To fulfill its mission, FGV EESP guarantees its students and faculty intellectual freedom and it encourages pluralism. It is always recruiting talents to ensure excellence and continuous improvement.
FGV EESP’s activities are guided by the principle of market competition. Internally, cooperation and total quality prevail, combined with the constant pursuit of innovation and improvement in its education management model.
The school launched its first undergraduate courses in 2004. Before that, Fundação Getulio Vargas’ undergraduate activities in Sao Paulo were focused on areas related to the administration of private and public sector companies.
Since the 1980s, FGV has run graduate economics courses at the Sao Paulo School of Business Administration (FGV EAESP). In order to expand its areas of activity, it founded the Sao Paulo School of Economics, which offers undergraduate, academic and professional graduate, continuing education and specialized economics courses.
In creating the Sao Paulo School of Economics, FGV had the aim of developing a center of excellence for education and research, to contribute to Brazil’s economic and social development and its pursuit of national identity.
FGV EESP has three fundamental guidelines:
The Sao Paulo School of Economics’ Internal Assessment Committee is a consultative and deliberative body whose function is to analyze and evaluate the performance of the activities carried out by the Sao Paulo School of Economics. It also represents those who directly or indirectly assist the Board of Directors with its strategic decisions, promoting improvements to processes and helping the school achieve its mission.
The committee was formally created by the school’s Education, Research and Extension Council on July 1, 2004, in accordance with the instructions stipulated in Federal Law 10,861 of April 14, 2004.

On August 18, 2003, EESP FGV was officially launched on the trading floor of the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange. The Sao Paulo School of Economics grew out of the Economic Planning and Analysis Department of the Sao Paulo School of Business Administration. Therefore, its professors were already experienced in economics teaching and research, and they had practical experience, as many of them had held important positions in the public and private sectors (ministers, state secretaries, and the CEOs and directors of banks and other companies).
The First Economics Forum was supported by the Sao Paulo State Federation of Industry / Sao Paulo State Center of Industries (FIESP/CIESP), the Unified Workers’ Union (CUT), trade union Força Sindical, and the Institute for Studies on Industrial Development (IEDI). The forum was held on September 13 and 14, 2004, at the Hotel Paulista Plaza Convention Center in in Sao Paulo.

The first edition of our economics course for high school students happened from April 11 to 14, 2011 in the Fundação Getulio Vargas auditorium. It was attended by approximately 500 high school students. The content was taught by Professor Bernardo Guimarães, who has a PhD in economics from Yale University and wrote the books “Economics Without Tricks” and “Introduction to Economics,” published by Campus.
Since it was founded, FGV EESP has sought to provide a fertile and stimulating learning environment, to help its students incorporate knowledge definitively and use it in new contexts and situations, including to solve real-world problems. To this end, we adopted the Problem-Based Learning methodology. In this educational model, implemented in 2013, the curriculum’s topics are presented in the form of concrete problems to provide theoretical learning. In this learning process, students actively “reinvent concepts, models and theory,” always general and abstract, so they can be applied to reality, which is always specific.
