The event took place at the Berkeley and Davis campuses of the University of California, with support from the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. The purpose was to give broader exposure abroad to scientific work being done in S\u00e3o Paulo and to enhance contacts between researchers from S\u00e3o Paulo and California in order to promote new collaboration arrangements. The program was comprehensive, with panels on topics such as energy efficiency, food security, genomics, democracy and social inequality, nanotechnology, the oceans, etc. One of the panels discussed the challenges and opportunities for scientific collaboration. \u201cThe role of the institutions involved in collaboration is to provide researchers with the right incentives so that they can recognize good opportunities and be given the tools they need to develop partnerships. This is how we have worked under international collaboration research arrangements at FAPESP,\u201d according to FAPESP Scientific Director Carlos Henrique de Brito Cruz. Ralph Hexter, President of the University of California at Davis, stressed the importance of the event. \u201cWe support any effort to bolster our partnerships with FAPESP in order to ensure the best results,\u201d he says. One of the windows of opportunity for international cooperation that was discussed at the event was the development of technologies for examining ceramic particles and compounds. \u201cMy research group at Berkeley does research on the modeling of processes for manufacturing new materials. One example is the application of small particles to surfaces, a technique that is beginning to gain popularity in 3D printers,\u201d says researcher Tarek Zohdi. Edgar Dutra Zanotto, from the Federal University of S\u00e3o Carlos, presented his research on vitreous ceramics. \u201cWith this material, we are able to combine many properties. We can make a bioactive material that is much harder and stronger than glass,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Event took place at the Berkeley and Davis UC campuses","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":[227,237,249,252,214],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-162257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-strategies","tag-energy","tag-genetics","tag-nanotechnology","tag-oceanography","tag-political-science"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162257","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=162257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162257\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162257"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=162257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
