Rhuanito S. Ferrarezi, University of Florida, Fort Pierce, FL
Partnerships between Latin and North American higher education institutions are a common strategy to foster mutually beneficial collaboration and promote international, multidisciplinary, and transcultural research, teaching, and service activities. With a vibrant and diverse culture, Latin American countries can send or host foreign scholars for up to twelve months. The goal of this interactive conversation is to work towards presenting international exchange programs to faculty, postdocs and students to develop and sustain collaboration opportunities. These programs can enable researchers to obtain international experience. Dr. Ferrarezi will lead a review and discussion of opportunities and challenges in South America, emphasizing Brazil.
