Research and teaching opportunities for international faculty at PUCRS

Project intends to strengthen internationalization at university

The Project of Institutional Internationalization PUCRS-PrInt is now open to select grantees for different programs for the year 2019. The grants will be awarded to Brazilians to develop work overseas and to international researchers to develop work here. Faculty and students are eligible for these grants. They must be affiliated to the Graduate Programs of PUCRS. International faculty and researchers, when affiliated to international institutions, are also eligible.

The idea is to strengthen the internationalization of the Graduate Programs of PUCRS to increase their quality, thus earning PUCRS the status of a world-class university. The funds will be granted from Capes (Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education) Program No. 41/2017. Click here for the application form. TThere are three types of grants to be awarded to international faculty. They are as follows:
