About
Fluminense Federal University (UFF) is a Brazilian federal public university headquartered in Niterói, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and linked to the Ministry of Education. Created on 18 December 1960 as the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UFERJ), it resulted from the merger of higher-education institutions that already existed in the former state of Rio de Janeiro. Its current name was established by Law No. 4,831 of 5 November 1965. The historical abbreviation UFERJ should not be confused with UFRJ, a distinct institution, successor to the former University of Brazil, which also adopted its current name in 1965.
