Proposals will be accepted in any discipline/multidisciplinary area. One of the workshops will take place in the State of São Paulo and the other in the Free State of Bavaria.
The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the Bavarian Academic Center for Latin America (BAYLAT), announce a new call for proposals for the funding of workshops.
The call for proposals is designed to provide financial support to bring together a cohort of early-stage researchers and PhD students who are about to defend their theses, from the Free State of Bavaria and São Paulo State, to take part in two workshops (per proposal) focusing on building links for future collaboration and enhancing the researchers’ career opportunities.
Workshops will be coordinated by two leading researchers, one each from a higher education or research institution in the Free State of Bavaria and from a higher education or research institution in the State of São Paulo.
Early-stage researchers might also rely on the aid of mentors, researchers of recognized competence in their fields of activity. Mentors will share their experience and knowledge during the event and will be available to participants at the end of the workshop to contribute to them with networks and other pertinent information.
Proposals will be accepted in any discipline/multidisciplinary area. One of the workshops will take place in the State of São Paulo and the other in the Free State of Bavaria. Both workshops must take place within the project’s duration: between November 10, 2025, and November 27, 2027, alternating annually between São Paulo and Bavaria.
Deadline for submissions is the 30th of July 2025, via SAGe System (https://fapesp.br/sage), which requires the Bavarian coordinator to be registered as principal investigator from partner institution.
The recruitment of participants will be open and disseminated through various channels, and will promote accessibility, diversity and gender parity, also for coordinators and mentors.
Proponents from the State of São Paulo must be or have been Principal or Co-Principal Investigators of research projects funded by FAPESP within at least one of the following FAPESP funding lines: Thematic Projects, Young Investigator Grant (JP), Engineering/Applied Research Centers (CPE/CPA), Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers (CEPID), and Research Partnership for Technological Innovation Program (PITE).
The call with instructions for submission of proposals is published at: https://fapesp.br/17532.
