Brazil-U.S. Exchange Program

The Sociedade Brasileira de Física (SBF) and the American Physical Society (APS) are pleased to sponsor a new exchange program for physics graduate students and professors in the U.S. and Brazil.

Brazil-U.S. Professorship/Lectureship Program

The Brazil-U.S. Professorship/Lectureship Program funds physicists in Brazil and the United States wishing to visit overseas to teach a short course or deliver a lecture series in the other country.  The professorship grants are for up to USD $4,000.

Brazil-U.S. Physics Student Visitation Program

Through the Brazil-U.S. Physics Student Visitation Program, graduate students in the U.S. and Brazil can apply for funds to travel to the other country in order to pursue a breadth of opportunities in physics.  Such opportunities might include: 

1. Attending a short-course or summer institute;
2. Visiting with a professor in his/her field of study;
3. Working temporarily in a laboratory; or,
4. Other opportunity that the student and professor believe is worthy of travel support. 
   

Grants for students are for up to USD $3,000.
