28 Science without borders: The Brazilian scientific mobility program

29 Objectives Boost Brazilian science, technology, innovation and competitiveness through the expansion of international mobility. Increase the presence of Brazilian researchers and students of various levels in institutions of excellence overseas; Brazilian institutions will open similar opportunities for foreign scientists and students; Increase the innovative expertise of personnel from the technological industries; Attract young scientific talents and highly qualified researchers to work in Brazil.

30 Priority Areas Engineering and other technological areas; Exact and Earth Sciences ; Health and Biomedical Sciences ; Computing and Information Technology; Aerospace; Pharmaceuticals; Sustainable Agricultural Production; Green Chemistry; Oil, Gas and Coal; Renewable Energies; Minerals; Biotechnology; Nanotechnology and New Materials; Natural Disasters; Biodiversity; Marine Sciences; Creative Industry; New constructive Technologies

31 Brazilians going abroad Support the travel and scholarships for living and installation assistance and health insurance; Undergraduate students for 6 months, or up to 12 months if an internship in laboratory or in industry is included; Support for doctoral academic degrees abroad, either in complete PhD programs or in 12 months sandwich stays; Postdoctoral fellowships: For candidates with a doctorate, and accepted in leading international institutions abroad. Minimum of 6 months and maximum of 24 months.

32 Young talents to Brazil (Brazilian or foreigners established abroad) Young talented scientists; Payment of fellowship and resources to 2 to 3 years of work in Brazil with a local group; The host research group receives funds in two years, as a bench fee; International calls of proposals in leading international journals. Up to 100 young researchers per year.

33 Special Visiting Researchers (Brazilian or foreigners established abroad) Senior researchers to perform joint projects with research groups in Brazil and to work in Brazil for one or two months every year; Doctoral students and post doctoral personnel will be supported to work in the project with expected activities both in Brazil and abroad; The benefits of this component will include the support for living expenses during the period the researcher spends in Brazil and funding for the local laboratory; Distinct ways of collaborating with Brazilian scientists may be proposed.
