Second partner in Brazil and third one in South America
Universidade Metodista de São Paulo has joined today as a partner of the EUROSCI Network. It thus becomes the 22nd partner university of the network, the second one in Brazil and the third one in South America. The University is particularly strong in the fields of communication and theology, and will reinforce the Network in those areas.
EUROSCI is offering its Brazilian partners the possibility of a new series of lectures on the EU and Brazil. Not only the language, but also the schedule and contents of the lectures will be adapted to the the needs of our partners and their students. Lectures will cover highly relevant issues such as trade, tourism, and development. European students of the Network have already welcomed the initiative and shown their willingness to learn Portuguese and share this experience with their Brazilian colleagues. Will our Brazilian partners be up to the challenge?
Today Universidade Metodista de Piracicaba has joined the EUROSCI Network. This is not only the first university of the Network in Brazil, but also the first one outside Europe. Brazil has been a strategic target for EUROSCI for a long time, as shown by the fact that we created a national centre with a dedicated website more than a year ago. UNIMEP's accession is also important for the redefinition of EUROSCI as a truly global network, and the first step in a direction that will be consolidated in the following months.
