FWO announces call for joint exchange projects with Brazil

The FWO launches a first call for joint exchange projects with researchers from the State of São Paulo (Brazil) on the 30th of July 2019.

FWO and the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) have reached an agreement to fund two-year joint exchange projects in all scientific disciplines (fundamental research). This agreement aims to offer researchers the possibility to realize their mobility towards and from Brazil. Applicants should be aware  that in Brazil only researchers are considered who are affiliated to a for FAPESP eligible research organization in the state of São Paulo.

This call will be launched within the 3rd round of FAPESP’s SPRINT programme (SPRINT - São Paulo Researchers in International Collaboration). For more information, see this webpage.

FWO offers researchers from Flanders a daily living allowance of € 66 (or max. €1,650 per month) on top of the travel expenses towards/from Brazil, to be booked through a travel agency authorized by the FWO.

Applications can be submitted from the 30th of July 2019 till the 28th of October 2019 (at FWO: 5 pm Belgian time).

Project proposals have to be submitted simultaneously at FWO by a research group from Flanders and at FAPESP by a research group from the State of São Paulo (Brazil).
