On 16 October and 19 November, the first two online events in the series “The Future of Online Participation in Smart Cities“ took place, organised by the Brazil Chair and the Brazil Centre at the University of Münster. 

At the end of October, the Brazil Centre at the University of Münster welcomed a group of students from the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso, led by Prof. Daniela Leal, Professor at the Faculty of Social Work, for a two-day visit.

We are pleased to welcome a group of students from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV) to the University of Münster on 28 and 29 October 2024. Students of the University of Münster are cordially invited to exchange ideas with our Chilean guests and gain insights into their student life and the country of Chile!
 

As part of the CAPES-Brazil Chair, the research team led by the Brazilian academic Prof. Dr José Carlos Vaz is organising the online event series "The Future of Online Participation in Smart Cities".

In cooperation with the RWTH Aachen University and the Brazilian Embassy in Berlin, the Apoena Network of Brazilian Researchers in Germany invites all researchers interested in German-Brazilian research cooperation as well as advanced students to the second network meeting in the North Rhine-Westphalia area on 18 October 2024.

Long-term networks: Brazilian teams at the University of Münster

If you search for the distance between Münster Castle and the universities in Minas Gerais and São Paulo, the result is a rounded distance of 10,000 kilometres. However, this great distance does not reflect the relationships that the University of Münster maintains with Brazilian institutions in any way. In terms of scientific activities, it is actually one of the most active foreign universities in Brazil.

"Collaboration Talks on Glycobiology" are organised by Prof. Dr Martin Götte, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University of Münster (UM), and Dr Jessica Onyeisi, postdoctoral fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH).

The GLOSUS project – "The Global Geographies of Sustainability: Local Knowledge, Everyday Practices, and non-professional Forms of Living and Housing" is an initiative funded by DAAD and CAPES, which marks a very significant collaboration between the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of São Paulo (FAU-USP) and the Institute of Geography at the University of Münster (UM).
