3rd APOENA Meeting in NRW: Brazilian diaspora gathers at the University of Bonn

The Network of Brazilian researchers in Germany, APOENA, invites you to the 3rd meeting of the Brazilian diaspora for science and innovation of NRW on 6 March 2026 at the University of Bonn. The event offers Brazilian researchers from all disciplines an opportunity to exchange ideas, network, and build bridges between Germany and Brazil.

Opened by the University of Bonn’s Vice Rector for International Affairs, the programme includes presentations on Brazil-related activities at the University of Bonn and on the topic “The strategic potential of the scientific diaspora: social, economic and scientific”, as well as two themed panel discussions on “Ethics in research” and “Agriculture and the Earth”. Prof. Marcel Stadnik, holder of a CAPES Visiting Professorship at the University of Bonn, will participate in the latter. The University of Münster will be represented by two Brazilian researchers: Dr Bruna Távora, a WiRe fellow, will speak on “Information disorder on land use in Brazil”, and Dr Victor Figueroa will participate in the panel discussion on “Ethics in research”.

The upcoming meeting in Bonn provides an opportunity to expand your network and to learn about funding opportunities offered by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the DFG (German Research Foundation) and the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR).
