Council of Culture and University Extension

The Conselho de Cultura e Extensão Universitária (CoCEx) responsibility is to set guidelines that guide the action of the University in the field of culture and university extension, following the general rules set by the University Council, as well as ensure, through permanent assessments, the quality of work and to adjust the means to suit the purpose of each activity performed.

The CoCEx has its composition defined in the Estatuto da Universidade de São Paulo and some of its members are the presidents of the Comissões de Cultura e Extensão Universitária das Unidades de ensino e pesquisa (Committee of Culture and University Extension of teaching and research units) and the directors of the Museums and Specialized Institutes, under the presidency of the Pro-Rector of Culture and University Extension.
