Opportunities

An internationalized academic training is essential to the development of fundamental intellectual capacities, and the consolidation of professionals in science. This demand contrasts with the drastic budget cuts currently visible at national and international levels, in a context that is hitting Human Sciences the hardest.

Sephis and LabHen laboratories are promoting the workshop “Academic Paths: Science and Financing,” intended to present PPGHIS/UFRJ students with introductory funding possibilities and strategies for identifying institutional and financial opportunities. These skills are necessary to pursue doctoral or postdoctoral experiences abroad that are consistent with the students’ motivations and have a higher impact on their working community.
