Members

The backbone of the Brazil Centre is formed by its members: professors and researchers from the University of Münster who work with partners in Brazil. Below you will find an overview of the current members and the founding members.

If you are interested in cooperation opportunities with Brazil - regardless of whether you have experience in cooperating with Brazil yourself - and are working at the University of Münster, we would be happy to add you to our mailing list. You will then receive the latest information on calls for proposals or events on a regular basis.

If you are interested in becoming a member or would like to receive further information about the Brazil Centre, please contact us at brazil.centre@uni-muenster.de.
