Events

This workshop is jointly organized by the MCAA Brazil Chapter, EURAXESS Brazil, and Fiocruz. It builds upon the success of the previous Brazil–Europe Workshops, which inspired the creation of the biennial Latin America Forum. The event aims to bring together researchers, policy makers, funding agencies, and institutional representatives to strengthen scientific cooperation between Brazil and the European Union. Over two days, participants will discuss strategic topics including One Health, Climate Change, Science Diplomacy, research funding opportunities, and the future of Brazil–EU collaboration within the framework of the EU–Mercosur Agreement. The workshop will also promote awareness of MSCA opportunities, encourage networking, and facilitate dialogue between key stakeholders from academia, government, and international organizations.

Antonino holds a PhD in Chemistry and has extensive international research experience. He is an MCAA member and currently the UK National Contact Point for the European Research Council (ERC) at UKRI.
