Between 2011 and 2019, APS and the Sociedade Brasileira de Física (SBF) sponsored the exchange of physics professionals, PhD students, and postdocs in the United States and Brazil.
APS is pleased to have partnered with the SBF on this program, which supported dozens of physicists, PhD students, and postdoctoral researchers. The final application cycle for this program closed in 2018.
This program provided funds for international travel to physicists in Brazil and the US to teach a one to two-week short course or provide a physics lecture series at a US or Brazilian university.
Through this program, PhD students and postdocs in Brazil and the US were awarded travel funds to pursue a breadth of opportunities in physics in the other country. Grantees undertook opportunities including attending a short-course or summer institute, visiting with a professor in their field of study, or working temporarily in a laboratory.
