The objective of this scholarship program is to support team-oriented research projects between Canadian and Brazilian universities in key areas of bilateral cooperation and mutual interest which encourage research collaboration as well as graduate student mobility.
Joint research projects funded by DFAIT (Canadian team) and by CAPES (Brazilian team) to support PhD students exchanges. Teams will be composed of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 PhD students and one project lead (faculty) from each institution/country.
