Mission Statement
SciBr is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to promoting meaningful cultural, educational and scientific exchange between the United States and Brazil. Our mission is to connect Brazilian researchers, artists and entrepreneurs working abroad and to mobilize their talents to create a more prosperous, fair and sustainable Brazil
About This Cause
We promote and work together with local research groups in universities and research labs to connect, mobilize and publicize the Brazilian technical talent abroad. We work with companies and scientists, both in the US and Brazil, to build an innovation ecosystem and drive research projects forward. We train from executives to politicians on the role of public and private innovation and work with researchers to adjust them to market needs. We keep track of over 7000 Brazilians that have or have had an international experience (usually post-grad) in the sciences, innovation, and arts. Connecting them to potential opportunities and further develop their careers is our job. In the center of our work is the PUBx model for networking. PUB meetups are interdisciplinary seminars and networking sessions where invited Brazilian speakers present their research and innovations. They are organized by the Brazilian scientific, technology and cultural communities in various locations across the US on a monthly basis. We also create and manage supplementary grants for projects that are not covered by the usual scientific funding agencies. For instance, one of our grantees, sponsored by the Lemann Foundation, took a Robotics course to a high school in the Brazilian Amazon. Professors and students learned 3D printing, mechanical engineering, and programming for the first time. We are funded entirely on donations.
