HEITOR SHIMIZU \/ FAPESP<\/span>FAPESP Week Munich: promising contacts in the fields of photonics, energy, and chemistryHEITOR SHIMIZU \/ FAPESP<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

FAPESP held another edition of its international FAPESP Week symposia at California\u2019s UC Berkeley and UC Davis campuses on November 17-21, 2014, with the support of the Wilson Center. Representing a gamut of fields, scientists from research institutions in S\u00e3o Paulo and the United States had the opportunity to forge tighter bonds and foster collaborative work. Beijing, China, was site of the year\u2019s first FAPESP Week, held in April 2014. In October, the event took place in Munich, Germany. \u201cThese symposia can lend visibility to the science done in S\u00e3o Paulo and can link our researchers to the world,\u201d said Marcelo Knobel, professor at the University of Campinas (Unicamp) and deputy coordinator of the FAPESP Area Panel on Collaboration in Research. Convened at the Deutsches Museum on October 15-17, FAPESP Week Munich was attended by an audience of around 170, including representatives of the German government, the Bavarian state government, FAPESP, and teaching and research institutions from both nations. FAPESP signed two new cooperation agreements during the symposium, one with the Ministry of Education and Research of the Federal Republic of Germany and the other with the University of M\u00fcnster.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany researchers from Brazil made arrangements to continue their conversations with German groups, especially in the fields of photonics, energy, and chemistry,\u201d said Knobel. Ludwig Spaenle, Minister of Education, Science, and the Arts for the State of Bavaria, stressed the importance of internationalizing research. \u201cWe are looking for strong partners and there are many to be found in S\u00e3o Paulo,\u201d he said.\u00a0Likewise in October 2014, FAPESP and the US Department of Energy (DOE) organized a symposium in Washington, DC, to assess research now underway as part of the Green Ocean Amazon initiative (GOAmazon), conducted under a 2013 call for proposals by the DOE, FAPESP, and the Amazonas Research Foundation (FAPEAM). Held on October 28, the event brought together more than 120 scientists, biodiversity conservation experts, and journalists.\u00a0\u201cWe need the best scientists to understand the changes taking place in tropical forests,\u201d said Ernest Moniz, US Secretary of Energy.\u00a0FAPESP President Celso Lafer highlighted the scientific and diplomatic nature of the partnership. \u201cResearchers from Brazil and the United States share common values linked to the merits of scientific investigation. In a world full of tensions, this is something that makes this kind of effort an exercise in building knowledge and cooperation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Symposia aims to tighten bonds and foster collaborative work","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[162],"tags":[234],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-159570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-strategies","tag-finance"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159570"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159570\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159570"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=159570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
