What we offer
Mandates are cooperation agreements between Swissnex in Brazil and partners to extend their professional networks, strengthen international cooperation and exchanges of Swiss researchers, innovators and institutions. Depending on the specific structure of the mandate, different tasks can be fulfilled.
Some examples of what we can offer are:
The organization (program, logistics, translation, administration) of visits by university professors or researchers to establish contacts with local partners such as universities, researchers, organizations, companies. These can be expanded to study tours and the elaboration of summer schools in partnership with our local partners.
Swissnex in Brazil can also increase its partners’ visibility through communication mandates, whereby the specific university is represented on a larger scale on social media, conferences, workshops, networking events.
