Abstract

As a matter of public interest, the COVID-19 pandemic has not only affected different types of institutions but has also dictated that such institutions worldwide take actions to mitigate its impact. This chapter describes the idea of university extension (outreach) as a fundamental mission for Brazilian public Higher Education Institutions (HEI s) to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and other relevant social issues. First, the chapter contextualises Brazilian higher education. Second, it presents the idea of extension conceived by the Córdoba Student Movement of 1918, a perspective for the contextualisation of teaching and research, aiming at a close relationship between the university and society. Third, it highlights the relevance of extension in the current context by illustrating some initiatives taken by federal HEI s in Southern Brazil when COVID-19 struck. These experiences suggest that projects related to devising solutions to real-life problems might contribute to pedagogical innovation. Nevertheless, this requires institutional arrangements to support processes that exceed traditional academic boundaries
