Brief Description:
The mission of FAPESP, a publicly
supported foundation in Brazil’s state of So Paulo, is to support research
projects in higher education and research institutions across all fields of
knowledge. With a 40 million-person population, So Paulo contributes 32% of
Brazil’s GDP. According to the state constitution, the foundation is entitled
to 1% of all state taxes, which the government distributes on a monthly basis.
The independence of the foundation and the reliability of its funding allow for
efficient management of resources that have made a big difference: So Paulo
replies to 45 percent of Brazilian scientific papers that are published in
international journals while having 22 percent of the country’s population and
30 percent of the nation’s scientists holding doctorates.
Thus, research institutions in
the state of So Paulo will be able to engage academics from countries impacted
by the crisis in Ukraine and other war-torn regions thanks to the assistance of
this request for ideas. Researchers should be able to stay at the research
institution and complete their work by applying to this chance if they are
interested in conducting research in the Brazilian state of So Paulo.
Objective:
In order to create research
projects that are either already underway or are about to begin at the Host
Institution, this Call is intended to promote researcher collaboration.
