Enhanced Reciprocity through Joint Research and Funding Opportunities: Canada-Brazil Cooperation beyond Ciência sem Fronteiras

Building on the higher education collaboration between Canada and Brazil (including the Ciência sem Fronteiras [CsF] scholarship program), the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) in partnership with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) are working to deepen Canada-Brazil collaboration in the research sphere.

Towards this end, CBIE and SSHRC are developing a map of Canada-Brazil research initiatives and funding opportunities for stakeholders in both countries. Moreover, CBIE and its partners have signed Memoranda of Understanding with Brazilian state research funding foundations FAPESP and FACEPE and secured a critical mass of Canadian universities, colleges and polytechnics ready to commit resources and participate in joint research projects.

For this session, CBIE will present an overview of the Canada-Brazil research map initiative, as well as a broader perspective of the opportunities for and challenges to further research collaboration between our two countries.
