The Institutional Program for Internationalization (PrInt) of the Brazilian Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) was launched in 2017 to fund institutional internationalization projects submitted by Higher Education Institutions or Research Institutes.

According to the call for proposals 41/2017, the program’s objectives are to:

  1. promote the development, implementation and consolidation of strategic internationalization plans by the institutions selected in the areas of knowledge they prioritize;
  2. stimulate the formation of international research networks to improve the quality of academic production at graduate level;
  3. expand the actions taken in the selected institutions to support the internationalization of graduate programs;
  4. promote faculty and student mobility, with focus on incoming and outgoing doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty members linked to graduate programs with international cooperation;
  5. encourage the transformation of the participating institutions into an international environment; and
  6. integrate other CAPES funding actions to the internationalization effort.

The call also lists the items which are eligible for funding, as follows:

  • Assistance for international work missions;
  • Resources for project maintenance;
  • Scholarships to study or research abroad:
  • Doctoral sandwich program;
    – Junior Visiting Professor (former postdoctoral position with an employment relationship);

    – Training in short courses or summer/winter schools.
  • Scholarships to study or research in Brazil:

The UFSC Institutional Internationalization Project was developed through the CG-PRINT/UFSC Joint Call for Proposals no. 01/2018/PROPG/PROPESQ, which sought the creation of interdisciplinary subprojects, each one developed by at least three graduate programs, in line with UFSC’s Institutional Internationalization Plan.
