The Getulio Vargas Foundation (Fundacao Getulio Vargas, FGV) is a Brazilian higher education institution and think tank based in Rio de Janeiro, founded on December 20, 1944 during the final days of Brazil's Estado Novo period to train professional bureaucrats, later expanding to serve private-sector clients as well. It operates campuses in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Brasilia, offering undergraduate, MBA, master's and doctoral programs across economics, business administration, law, public administration, social sciences, applied mathematics and international relations, and it runs more than 90 research centers covering macroeconomics, microeconomics, finance, policy analysis and social issues. The University of Pennsylvania's Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program has ranked it as Latin America's premier think tank and seventh among think tanks worldwide, and its FGV EAESP campus is Brazil's only business school holding the AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS triple accreditation.
