Type: Exchange
Activity Description:
In order to collaborate with the qualification of human resources in the area of Pharmaceutical Sciences, PPGCF has been participating in institutional actions that promote the offer of vacancies for students from other countries. Following this perspective, the Program has already allocated two scholarships to the Program of Alliances for Education and Training - PAEC (Organization of American States - OEA / Coimbra Group of Brazilian Universities - GCUB), which is intended to internationalize graduate students with nationality and / or residence in OEA member states, except Brazil, promoting the greater integration of Brazilian universities in the region, encouraging scientific and cultural exchange, improving international student mobility and supporting the human development of outstanding individuals in the Americas. PPGCF also participated in the training of human resources of African Countries, within the scope of the various Programs of the Brazilian Government with countries of that continent.
