This paper presents the first impressions of an investigation into the new institutionality resulting from the creation of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (Federal Institutes), based on the public policy network analysis framework known as "policy networks". This institutionality appears to be an alternative to the multiple functions that the new institutions took on with the enactment of Law 11.890 in December 2008. The main players responsible for drawing up the Bill for the Creation of the Federal Institutes indicate that this approach is an innovative governance model for the Federal Professional and Technological Education Network. Network analysis is not new. What is new is the fact that the concepts are being applied to the Federal Network for Professional and Technological Education, in the search for data that allows institutions to be studied in a scenario of change, complexity and continuity.
