The new internationalisation programme PrInt (Programa Institucional de Internacionalização) of the Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (CAPES) is designed to promote the internationalisation of research and postgraduate education, the expansion of international researcher networks and the international mobility of researchers at selected Brazilian universities. 36 universities and research institutes were successful with their applications, among them many partners of Münster University - eleven of them considered the WWU in their applications as international partner. The projects started in 2018/19, have a duration of 5 years and are thematically as well as organisationally very diverse.

Within the framework of these projects, the universities offer the following scholarships: Sandwich PhD, Visiting Junior/Senior Professor, Workshops/Missions (scholars from Brazil) and Young talents/Postdocs, Experienced Postdocs, Professors (scholars from Brazil). Researchers from Münstzer University  have to apply via  Brazilian universities/research institutions.
