Abstract: This article systematizes some of the contributions of the Federal University of Minas Gerais in facing Covid-19, aiming to highlight the important role of universities for our country. The non-exhaustive survey aimed to make explicit that some answers were only possible by building previous capacities and knowledge within the various activities that are carried out at the university. The importance of public funding in enabling laboratory infrastructure, as well as the targeted funding that allowed the development of solutions to the pandemic and the intellectual capital accumulated by the university over the years was also evidenced. Furthermore, the cases presented illustrate that the solution channels for social problems are broad and diverse, and do not happen only through NITs or institutional innovation policies. The channels involve the provision of services and the internal interlocution of knowledge and capabilities of the university, which involve the articulation and combination of different areas of knowledge and management practices.
