2007: UK-Brazil Year of Science & Innovation
The UK-Brazil Year of Science & Innovation has the objective of fostering the relationship between Brazilian and British scientific and R&D (Research & Development) communities, aiming at exchanging knowledge and establishing partnerships or co-operation agreements in science, innovation, and technology.
Through a series of events sponsored by the British Government and its Brazilian partners, the activities of the UK-Brazil Year of Science & Innovation are to host British groups such as Research Councils, Universities and research institutes, besides organisations such as the Royal Society and high technology companies that work jointly with universities.
Lectures, workshops, scientific co-operation agreements, and various other activities led by the Science & Innovation (S&I) team of the British Consulate-General will be attended by leading United Kingdom specialists. These activities will be divided into four major themes: Planet Earth, Human Life, Reaching Beyond and Creativity, approaching subjects that cover from climate change to biotechnology and digital media
Linking up
To close each one of the themes of the UK-Brazil Year of Science & Innovation, the British Consulate-General will organise meetings to discuss the next steps to enhance collaboration in each of the topics identified by the Year of Science.
In addition to scientific co-operation agreements, subjects such as management techniques in science and innovation as well as solutions for financing research and technology will be discussed, encouraging specialists and both British and Brazilian government representatives to work together.
