Conclusions
• There are opportunities besides joint EU-Brazil
calls (in H2020, Erasmus+, agreements CNPq,
CAPES, FAPx with European institutions, P&D
projects from Brazil, etc)
• Need to find co-funding EU-Brazil
• Important to find win-win relations, and to be
able to measure the impact of project in both
places
