RESEARCHCurrently, there are more than 850 ongoing research projects, carried out by researchers in partnership with external funding agencies such as Fundação Araucária (Paraná State), CNPq, FINEP, and CAPES (Federal). These projects are linked to 760 lines of inquiry, leading to dissemination in major academic journals both nationally and internationally. A great deal of this academic production is published in books, some by the university's own publishing house – EDUEL, which releases about 30 titles per year.

UEL seeks to guarantee:
• A profound interconnection between teaching, research and outreach;
• ·Egalitarian access to all students;
• ·Freedom and respect for the multiplicity of ideas;
• ·Production and dissemination of knowledge, by educating citizens and
professionals in various academic fields within the ethical values of freedom, equality, and social justice.
In 1971, the existing separate colleges of Letters and Sciences, Law, and Dentistry were merged to create UEL: a state funded, free of charge university, located in Londrina (population 540,000), a medium-sized city in the northern region of Paraná state located in the south of Brazil.
UEL maintains affirmative action programs to ensure democratic access to the 3,100 new undergraduate enrollment vacancies every year. Low-income candidates are assisted through vocational guidance and a free preparatory course for the university entrance exam.More than 18,000 undergraduate and graduate students enjoy a suitable environment for academic exchanges and personal and professional development. Several federal and state government programs have ensured that students receive the best qualification in the areas of teacher education, research training, and arts development.
