Institute XY (the temporary name) will operate using resources from an endowment fund through a donation of roughly R$20 million from Mr. and Mrs. Moreira Salles. Jo\u00e3o is a son of businessman and banker Walther Moreira Salles (1912-2001). Endowment funds are common financing models in countries such as the United States, and they use donations that generate income that is in turn invested in research, infrastructure and grants. Economist Rodrigo Fi\u00e3es, in charge of setting up the Institute and selecting its executive director, tells Ag\u00eancia FAPESP that \u201cthe goal is to support research and science communication projects in mathematics and science.\u201d The idea came about in 2010, while Salles was teaching a film course at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC\/RJ). He found that in that year, PUC graduated three physicists, two mathematicians and 27 students with bachelor\u2019s degrees in film. \u201cThe graduation rate for engineers in Brazil is lower than in China, India and Russia\u2014the emerging countries with which we compete most,\u201d he wrote in an article published in 2010 in the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo. In recent years, Salles has held meetings with researchers and visited funding agencies in Brazil, such as FAPESP, and in other countries, such as the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany, searching for ideas to strengthen the Institute. XY is expected to begin operations in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jo\u00e3o Moreira Salles announces the creation of a institute to support science","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-223063","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\/223063","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=223063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223063\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223063"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=223063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
