In relation to the regional distribution of the Brazilian institutions, there were 67 participants from the Southeast Region, 36 from the Southern Region, 34 from the Northeast Region, 8 from the Northern Region and 5 from the Center-West.

3rd Coordinated BR-EU Call

The purpose of the call is to strengthen the synergy among the competences existing in the R&D communities in Brazil and in the European Union, with emphasis on institutions largely involved in industries.

Over the last few years, Brazil and the European Union have formed closer ties of cooperation in science and technology by means of the joint opening of calls for advanced research and development projects in the information and communication technologies segment. This is the third stage of such cooperation. The two previous calls were opened in 2010 and 2012.

The three call notices received 142 work proposals and allocated funds to 14 of them. Each party allocated 17 million Euro to the funding.
