Mission
The Academic Section of the Embassy of Brazil in London promotes Brazilian education cooperation programmes in the UK and supports bilateral academic partnerships, including our flagship academic mobility scheme, 'Science without Borders', the Rio Branco and Anisio Teixeira Chairs funded by CAPES and 'Brazil in the School', a resource pack for KS2 and KS3.
Through 'Science without Borders' the Brazilian Government aims to support international mobility by sending over 100,000 Brazil-based students and researches to the best universities and research centres in the world and, at the same time, bring 1,250 world-class researchers to Brazil over the course of 4 years.
The Rio Branco and Anisio Teixeira Chairs are supported by Brazilian higher education research council CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior). These endowed professorships are open to senior Brazilian academics and aim to increase collaboration between UK hosts and higher education institutions in Brazil.
Written by a team of four British teachers and edited at the Embassy of Brazil, 'Brazil in the School' is a set of free, up-to-date educational resources for teachers and pupils in British schools. The project has been specifically designed to support the National Curriculum.
