Results of the joint call for proposals SPRINT FAPESP-Uni Münster

The projects selected by the joint call for proposals with FAPESP (Sao Paulo Research Foundation), the Brazilian state agency with the most resources available for promoting research, were announced. Four mobility projects between researchers from the University of Münster and the state of São Paulo were selected to receive seed funding. These initiatives should serve to prepare joint research projects through mutual scientific meetings and visits. The projects are carried out under the FAPESP-SPRINT (São Paulo Research in International Collaboration) funding program.

FAPESP made available up to 10,000 euros per project. The University of Münster also contributes up to 10,000 euros per project, with 50% of these funds provided by the Brazil Centre and 50% co-financed by researchers with other funds (institute, department, third-party funds, etc.).

FAPESP and the University of Münster maintain a cooperation agreement since 2014. So far, three projects have already been funded in previous SPRINT calls: two in the area of information systems and mathematics or physics and one in the area of geoinformatics, with partners from the University of São Paulo (USP) and the National Institute for Space Research (INPE).
