Organized by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), the Move La América Program aims to complement the internationalization efforts of Brazilian Higher Education Institutions. The initiative seeks to attract students affiliated with foreign education and research institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean, strengthening Postgraduate Programs (PPG) and promoting the creation of an international institutional environment.
To this end, the program offers scholarships in the form of sandwich master's and doctorate degrees in Brazil, with a focus on internships, research, extension activities and, occasionally, courses in Postgraduate Programs (PPG) at Brazilian Higher Education Institutions (IES).
O Santos Dumont Institute is one of the participating institutions, offering 10 master's scholarships to foreign postgraduate students from Latin America and the Caribbean. The vacancies are for the master's degree in the institution's Postgraduate Program in Neuroengineering (PPGN).
