Target Audience

Master’s, doctoral, and postdoctoral researchers from Brazil and abroad, with training in a wide range of disciplines related to microplastics.

The School will offer 130 vacancies (50% for Brazilians and 50% for foreigners), with affirmative actions (at least half will be for women and 25% for ethnical minorities).

Who can participate?

130 students worldwide will be selected based on an assessment considering the applicant’s research area, academic history, CV, research projects, recommendation letter and fair distribution on gender, ethnicity, and geographical distribution. The primary target audience includes master’s, doctoral, postdoctoral students, and early-career scientists.

Travel, accommodation, food, and travel insurance (for foreign participants) of selected students will be fully funded by FAPESP.
