The Brazilian Government is starting a program of scholarships to promote the consolidation and expansion of science, technology and innovation in Brazil through international exchange and mobility. The main goals of the Brazilian Scientific Mobility Program at CNPq/MCT are:- Create a collaborative association encompassing the training of Brazilian students and scientists abroad, with reciprocal opening of opportunities at institutions in Brazil.- Create a collaborative Scientific Fellowship Program for allowing scientists from abroad to join a Brazilian group of excellence (e.g., Brazilian National Institutes for Science and Technology INCTs) or Brazilian Senior Scientists to stay at foreign institutions within the context of a scientific project.Such collaborative agreement would have then two components: Undergraduate, Doctoral or Post-Doctoral fellowships for Brazilian students and investigators at foreign institutions; and Collaborative Senior Fellowships.CNPq will actively engage in agreements with the best technological and scientific institutions around the World and Brazilian institutions are alsostimulated to seek international collaborations with counterparts abroad. Proposals may not be limited to the forms described here and we welcome creative new approaches to the same goals.More information and inquires: sciencewithoutborders@cnpq.brAbout CNPq: Brazilian National Scientific and Technological Research CouncilCNPq operates under the aegis of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MCT). It has an elaborate system to support Science and Technology (S&T) focused on scientific and technological research and education.CNPq grants scholarships to the training of professionals in all fields of scientific and technological research, both in Brazil and abroad. It also funds research projects either directly or in partnership with State Funding Agencies. CNPq selects proposals for grants for projects that aim to contribute significantly to the scientific and technological development and innovation in the country. The research proposal must be clearly characterized as scientific or technological innovation.The bilateral cooperation agreements, maintained by the CNPq, support the mobility of researchers within the framework of joint research projects, develop and innovation, in preferred areas, agreed with foreign funding institutions. New York Times...Bully, Lee Hirschs moving and troubling documentary about the misery some children inflict upon others, arrives at a moment when bullying, long tolerated as a fact of life, is being redefined as a social problem. Just kids being kids can no longer be an acceptable response to the kind of sustained physical and emotional abuse that damages the lives of young people whose only sin is appearing weak or weird to their peers. And while the film focuses on the specific struggles of five families in four states, it is also about and part of the emergence of a movement. It documents a shift in consciousness of the kind that occurs when isolated, oppressed individuals discover that they are not alone and begin the difficult work of altering intolerable conditions widely regarded as normal. The feeling of aloneness is one of the most painful consequences of bullying. It is also, in some ways, a cause of it, since it is almost always socially isolated children (the new kid, the fat kid, the gay kid, the strange kid) who are singled out for mistreatment. For some reason for any number of reasons that hover
