CAPES PrInt workshop - Federal University of Paraná (UFPR)

The Brazil Gateway in collaboration with the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) and the Global One Health initiative (GOHi) invites you to learn more about an important federal university in Brazil, Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), located in the city of Curitiba, the capital of Paraná and Columbus’ sister city since 2014. Faculty members from UFPR will present one of four webinars that are part of the CAPES PrInt Online Workshop with Brazilian Universities. They will share the university’s research focus under the CAPES PrInt funding system, opportunities for collaboration with Ohio State, and past successful experiences. 

CAPES PrInt - Four Brazilian universities have listed Ohio State as a partner for the new Brazilian government funding system, CAPES PrInt.  CAPES is an important foundation connected with the Ministry of Education in Brazil. CAPES PrInt is a 60,000,000 four-year program that aims to promote the development of strategic internationalization plans as a means to improve the quality of Brazilian graduate courses and to draw greater international visibility to scientific research carried out in Brazil. Opportunities include Brazilian graduate students interested in being visiting scholars abroad and positions for graduate students wanting to be visiting scholars in Brazil, as well as Brazilian faculty nominating their foreign collaborators as visiting faculty in Brazil, and the establishment of research networks among universities. 

Join the webinar by registering and share with those who might be interested. See you on July 7 at 12pm (ET) / 1pm (BRT).
