Since 2011, FAPESP Week scientific symposia have helped create an environment for scientific collaboration between Brazilian and foreign researchers with shared or complementary interests.

FAPESP Weeks are organized by FAPESP and partners in the local country/region. They may be based in a single institution/city or two or more institutions/cities in the same region/country.

Each FAPESP Week brings together leading scientists from São Paulo, Brazil, and colleagues from the target region, in academic sessions with presentations and debates on scientific results relevant to the regions and likely to stimulate research collaboration.

The most recent symposium took place in Montevideo, Uruguay, from November 13th to 14th, 2025.
