adminBrazil-EU summit currently underway in Brazil’s capital Brasilia, Brazil will send 100 researchers to EU research institutes and universities within the framework of the Science Without Borders academic exchange program.
The program enables Brazilian researchers to travel to research centers in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy and work in projects of special interest to the Brazilian government, such as natural disaster prevention and crisis management, climate change, sustainable management of natural resources, nanotechnology and energy.
The new agreement represents an expansion of the Science Without Borders program, a scholarship initiative established by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff in her first year of government.
The program has already sent undergraduate and postgraduate students to institutions in Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania. — Xinhua.
