The University of International Integration of Afro-Brazilian Lusophony (UNILAB) is a Brazilian federal public higher education institution, located in the city of Redenção, in the state of Ceará. Redenção was chosen because it was the first city to abolish slavery in Brazil. The courses taught at UNILAB are preferably in areas of mutual interest in Brazil and other CPLP countries, with emphasis on issues involving teacher training, agrarian development, management and public health processes, engineering and others. Unilab is focused on the countries of Africa, especially the PALOP countries, but also includes Timor-Leste and Macao. Its political-pedagogical project is bold as well as that of Unila and Uniam, aiming at international integration. According to Professor Paulo Speller, president of the Unilab Implementation Commission. "In the first year (2010), the University had 350 students from Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking countries, such as Portugal, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe, Mozambique and Timor-Leste."
