Description: |
The Canada-Brazil Awards - Joint Research Projects is the first scholarship program created in the context of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in August 2010 between Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (DFAIT) and the Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (CAPES) in Brazil. The objective of this scholarship program is to support team-oriented research projects between Canadian and Brazilian institutions of higher education in key areas of mutual cooperation, such as democratic governance, prosperity and security, as well as science and technology, thus encouraging research collaboration as well as graduate student mobility. This scholarship program supports exchanges of PhD students in the context of team-based bilateral research projects. The projects must consist of collaborative research and eventual publication in support of key academic areas of bilateral cooperation or the objectives of the Canada-Brazil Framework Agreement on Science and Technology Cooperation and fully explain the advantages of the partnership for both countries. There must be a Memorandum of Understanding or similar agreement between the collaborating Canadian and Brazilian institutions. |
