PUCRS-PrInt gives faculty opportunity to teach and do research abroad
In 2019, 15 PUCRS professors headed to project’s partner institutions
In search of qualification and new experiences, in 2019, 15 professors served as visiting professors abroad on the Institutional Project of Internationalization (PUCRS-PrInt). Faculty is eligible in two categories: Junior Visiting Professor Abroad and Senior Visiting Professor Abroad.
These grants advance the mobility of PUCRS professors to PUCRS-PrInt’s partner institutions, in an effort to consolidate and foster international partnerships. Another perspective for the program is the development of international research networks, with an eye to improving the quality of scientific and technological production generated in partnership and associated with graduate programs.
