The Brazil
Research Group at Østfold University College in
Norway was established after the signing of an agreement of intention between
the Universidade Federal do Espiríto Santo (UFES) and Østfold University
College (OUC) on July 14th 2010. A similar agreement was signed with the
Universidade Católica Pontifícia do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) June 7th 2011.
These agreements include exchange of researchers, teachers, students and
developing research projects together.
The main
goal for the Brazil Research Group is to be a meeting place for researchers
interested in comparative studies between Norway and Brazil, for the time being; especially in the area of social- and community studies. The group seeks
also to create and strengthen research networks between Norway and Brazil.
Students
are more than welcome to both join the research group and to participate in
research projects.
