At the science dinner hosted in Sao Paulo by Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) on November 30, 2010, the NIHES-Brazil Knowledge Platform signed the first academic collaboration agreements with Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná, Universidade Estacio de Sá, and Escola Baiana de Medicina e Saúde Pública.

At the same time, the first letters of intent were signed by five public institutions: Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ); University of São Paulo (Faculty of Medicine); Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (International Relations Department); Federal University of Bahia (Institute for Public Health); and Federal University of Minas Gerais (Hospital das Clínicas).

The NIHES-Brazil Knowledge Platform aims to foster research talent – not only in academia, government and industry, but also in people who might otherwise be left behind.
