Brazil FAPESP and University of Illinois Joint Research Program

The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the University of Illinois are pleased to launch this new Call for joint research projects. The aim is to promote and strengthen collaboration between researchers affiliated with Higher Education and Research Institutions in state of São Paulo, Brazil, and researchers from the University of Illinois. This is in collaboration with Brasillinois, an initiative that builds on the unique potential of the University of Illinois System to create a new model for collaboration between U.S. higher education and the Global South. The initiative leverages the already comprehensive hub of research collaboration to build a research and mobility network that includes other Illinois institutions, partners among the Great Lakes Consortium, and other institutional partners in North America. Brasillinois draws on faculty expertise and programs across the University of Illinois System to pursue collaborative research and mobility initiatives.
