1. CONTEXTUALIZATION
1.1. Overview
As the B in BRICS, Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world both in terms of population
and land area, with 206 million inhabitants and a similar size to continental United States. The
lusophone country is divided into one federal district and 26 states (unidades federativas)
spread among five regions: North, Northeast, West Central, Southeast and South. The
population distribution is very uneven. 22% of the country’s inhabitants live in the state of
São Paulo that represents just 3% of Brazilian territory. Conversely, the Northern region is
45% of the country in size but less populated than São Paulo metropolitan area.
Generalizations and averages should thus be taken with great care in such a vast and
culturally,1 ethnically, geographically and economically diverse country, in particular when it
comes to economic and social development, safety issues and – most importantly for the sake
of this report – research and education.

The vast majority of Brazilians speak Portuguese, the only official language. German is the second
most spoken first language. Some indigenous languages also subsist.

The most well-known type of diversity in Brazil is ethnic and takes its roots in a number of
waves of voluntary and forced migration since the discovery of Brazil in 1500. Between the
mid 16th century and the 19th century, the Atlantic slave trade brought close to four million
African slaves3, accounting for 40% of all slaves shipped to the Americas. When slavery was
finally abolished, the surge of the coffee industry attracted about 4 million Italian,
Portuguese, Spanish, German and Arab workers between 1884 and 1959. Brazilian authorities
further designed policies that attracted around 160,000 Japanese migrants between 1917
and 1940. In the most recent IBGE census (2010),4 48% of people describe themselves as
white, 43% as brown or mixed race, 8% as black, and 1% as Asian or indigenous Indian. The
legacies of slavery help explain the structural persistence of inequality in Brazil, which has one
the most unequal distributions of wealth globally.5 In 2010, black and mixed-race Brazilians
earned half the income of the white, were twice as likely to be illiterate and were less than a
third as likely to graduate from university.

African slaves in Brazil mostly came from two either West Africa (Guinea, Ghana, Benin, GuineaBissau and Nigeria) or Bantu-language people from Angola, Congo and Mozambique.

The Brazilian GINI coefficient, the most common measure of wealth inequality, is still in the last
decile of all countries for which the World Bank publishes data at 53% (i.e. over 90% of countries are
more equal). This holds true despite important improvements brought upon by government-led social
welfare programs. When Bolsa Escola (which became Bolsa Família two years later) was launched in
2001, the coefficient was 59%, about the level of Haiti today.

1.2. Brazilian education in perspective
In 2011, the Brazilian government spent 19% of its total expenditure or 6.1% of GDP on
education, which is well above the OECD averages of 13% and 5.6%, respectively. The rise in
public expenditure on education from 3.5% of GDP in 2000 to 6.1% in 2011 is even the
sharpest of all OECD and partner countries.
Nevertheless, the annual public spending per student was of USD 2,985 in 2011, just a third of
the average for OECD and partner countries at purchasing power parity (PPP) and the second
lowest. When considering solely higher education, Brazil spends USD 10,902 per student, 78%
of the OECD average. This narrower gap can be explained by the fact that public spending per
student in higher education is four times more than in primary or secondary education, the
highest differential among all OECD and partner countries. As a result, poorly funded primary
and secondary public schools fall behind private schools with seven or fewer students per
teacher on average. Conversely, leading universities in Brazil are the highly selective public
institutions that receive the bulk of education spending and offer free education (as required
by the constitution) to about a quarter of all university students.
By design, this system leads to a paradox; the students whose family could afford the superior
private education until high school enroll in leading public universities whereas poorer
students end up paying hefty tuition in less prestigious private universities (often working fulltime and taking classes in the evenings). Although this incongruity started being tackled with
the implementation of ambitious affirmative action programs, 8 this system remains
emblematic of the often-inefficient Brazilian public policies and perpetuates inequalities.9
Today, Brazil is in the grip of an economic crisis that has pressured consumer spending and
weakened the Brazilian currency. This in turn has led the government to cut education
spending and made it much more expensive for Brazilians to travel or study abroad. Average
growth between 2011 and 2014 was a tepid 2.2% per year, a rate that lagged behind most
other countries in the region, and the economy basically didn’t grow at all in 2014. In 2015,
Brazil even entered a recession, with a fall in GDP of 4.5% in the 3rd quarter, the steepest
decline on record.10 As The Economist puts it, “A former star of the emerging world faces a
lost decade”.11
8
In August 2012, Brazil passed a law mandating racial quotas for entry to all of the country's 59
federal universities and 38 federal technical schools. See “Slavery's legacy”, The Economist, 26 April
2013 at
http://www.economist.com/blogs/americasview/2013/04/affirmative-action-brazil.

Level of education and earnings are highly correlated in Brazil. Adults who attained tertiary education
(13%) earn over 2.5 times more than those with upper secondary education (1.6 on average for the
OECD). Adults who did not reach an upper secondary education (more than half of the working-age
population compared to less than a quarter in the OECD) earn 42% less than people with that
qualification.

2. EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
2.1. History of Brazilian research and education
The colonial history helps explain the late development of Brazilian higher education. While
Spanish colonizers set up universities in other Latin American countries as early as the 16th
century, the Portuguese Crown feared the establishment of rival institutions in Brazil and was
less interested in such long-term investments. Specialized research institutes first developed
mostly in law, agriculture and public health after 1800. When Brazil gained its independence
in 1822, the country had no universities for a population of 4.7 million, whereas the United
States had nine universities for 2.5 million inhabitants when the Declaration of Independence
was signed fifty years earlier. A second wave of development came between 1870 and 1900
with the foundation of specialized higher education institutions (mining, polytechnic and
agriculture between 1875 and 1900). The first long-lasting higher education institution in
Brazil was the Universidade do Rio de Janeiro (now Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro or
six years ago, with a flattering cover “Brazil takes off” on a background of Christ the Redeemer rising
over its pedestal. It got worried in 2013 when a new cover asked “Has Brazil blown it?”.
6
UFRJ), was founded in 1920 through the merger of a polytechnic school, a medical school and
a law school. During this period, literacy rates began to rise and exceeded the meager 30%mark in 1925. The foundation of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP) in 1934 followed a
comparable process, regrouping pre-existing specialized institutions with a newly created
School of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters (now FFLCH). The number of schools was much
larger in this case, including polytechnics, agriculture, medicine, pharmacy, astronomy and
other fields, thus making USP the first truly “universal” institution in Brazil and a benchmark
from then on.
Only post-World War II did national research institutions start to form. A national association
of researchers – the Brazilian Society for the Progress of Science or SBPC – was founded in
1948, followed by two national funding agencies; the National Research Council (now the
National Council for Scientific and Technological Development or CNPq) meant to promote
scientific and technological research and the Higher Education Staff Development Office
(CAPES) managing postgraduate education and international partnerships. In 1967, a Brazilian
innovation agency – the Funding Authority for Studies and Projects (FINEP) – was created and
is now the managing the National Fund for Science and Technology (FNDCT). Funding
agencies at a state-level were also set up in this period following the highly successful São
Paulo State Research Funding Agency (FAPESP) created in 1962.
The federal government implemented several important education reforms in the following
decades. The 1968 university reform granted more academic and financial autonomy to
universities and established a single organizational structure for public and private
universities. Three years later, school became compulsory from 7 to 14 years old.
In 1996, the National Education Guidelines and Framework Law harmonized the curricula of
primary and secondary education nationwide, increased the length and number of teaching
days and set up an evaluation process for courses and institutions at all education levels.
More recent internationalization efforts have culminated with the launch of “Science without
borders”, a policy discussed in more detail in section 5.2, although past and coming reforms
are now endangered by the economic crisis facing the country.
2.2. Current structure
The current system of education in Brazil is based on the 1988 Constitution, which highlighted
education as a universal right that should be promoted and protected by the government.
National education and research policies are designed by the Ministry of Education (MEC) and
the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI), respectively.

Brazilian students typically enter primary education (ensino fundamental) at age 6 for a
period of 9 years. They may then enroll for three years of secondary education (ensino
médio) that includes a multidisciplinary curriculum with one compulsory foreign language
(usually English, sometimes Spanish).
The Certificado de conclusão do ensino médio (secondary education diploma) is not
recognized as an equivalent to the Swiss high school leaving certificate. Brazilian students
wishing to study at a Swiss university need a minimum grade of 7/10 in their Certificado and
are required to pass the Examens complémentaires des universités suisses (ECUS).
The MEC grants three levels of accreditations 12 to higher education institutions that
determine their level of autonomy (see Figure 5). Colleges (faculdades) are specialized
teaching institutions with the lowest level of independence in the elaboration of their
programs. In 2013, there were 140 public and 1’876 private colleges in Brazil with an
enrollment of 2.1 million students (29% of total). The second type of accreditation is that of
university center (centro universitário), which is granted to institutions standing out for the
excellence of their programs (usually in more than one field of study) while not necessarily
conducting research. In the same year, 1.2 million students (16% of total) were enrolled in the
10 public and 130 private university centers in the country.
Last but not least, multidisciplinary institutions that carry out research and education are
granted the status of university (universidade). Still in 2013, the 3.9 million students (53% of
total) enrolled in universities were distributed as follows: 5.4 million students (58%) in 84
private universities, 1.1 million students (26%) in 62 federal universities, 600’000 students
(14%) in 38 state universities and 190’000 students (3%) in 11 municipal universities.
Admission to bachelor programs (graduação) is conditional upon the completion of secondary
school and competitive entrance examinations taken in Portuguese by Brazilian and foreign
students alike. Each university may use its own entrance exam13 called the vestibular for
which many students would prepare by attending a curso pré-vestibular at private high
schools.
Because the high scores required by renowned (and free-of-charge) public universities are
obtained by wealthier students from private secondary schools, Brazil passed a controversial
law in 2012 (with a four-year implementation period) that requires each federal university to
enroll half of incoming students from public secondary schools. In addition, state-specific
quotas of black, mixed-race and indigenous students were introduced (see section 1.2 above).
12
In addition to these categories, the Federal Network of Vocational, Scientific and Technological
Education offers professional education to about 120’000 students (2% of total) in 38 federal institutes
(Instituto Federal or IF) nationwide and two federal centers of technological education (Centro Federal
de Educação Tecnológica or CEFT) in Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais.
13
The Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) was launched in 1998 to evaluate the quality of
Brazilian education and is since 2009 the official university entrance exam, although many universities
still use their own vestibular.
8
To be eligible for Brazilian master (mestrado) and PhD (doutorado) programs, students must
hold a valid bachelor degree. Further requirements vary from one field to another, but may
include entrance exams and interviews.
The academic year in Brazil is reversed relative to Switzerland. The first semester starts in late
February and ends in late June or early July. After the July winter break, the second semester
starts in early August and ends early December. The summer holidays last two months
(December and January). For example, the dates of the two semesters at the Universidade de
São Paulo (USP) in 2015 were 23 February to 4 July and 3 August to 8 December.
It should be noted that a surprisingly large share of higher education courses are held in the
evening (generally from 7 pm to 10:30 pm), in particular in private universities. In 2010,
63.5% of Brazilian students were enrolled in evening courses, out of which 5 in 6 were in
private institutions.14 Indeed, students often must work while attending college to defray the
costs of the study as well as personal and family costs.15
In terms of the geographical distribution of higher education students, just four of the 26+1
states (São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul) account for half of the
student population in the country. This is consistent with the share of the total population of
these states, with the exception of São Paulo that accounts for 26% of the student population
but 22% of the total population, a sign that its leading academic institutions attract a
disproportionate number of students from the rest of the country. This will appear more
clearly in the following section.

The author of this report witnessed the shortcomings of evening education while working for a few
months in a small city in Minas Gerais. Most of his colleagues were young adults enrolled in a private
bachelor’s or master’s degree and employed full-time. This resulted in high levels of stress and fatigue
and classes were clearly the second priority.

3. LEADING HUBS
3.1. São Paulo
As a result of its demographic and economic power (a third of Brazilian GDP), São Paulo
dominates Brazilian science and innovation. The state spends more on R&D than any Latin
American country beside Brazil. According to UNESCO, it accounted for 41% of PhDs granted,
44% of publications with at least one Brazilian author, 46% of GERD (gross domestic
expenditure on R&D) and as much as 86% of higher education spending on R&D in Brazil in
2012.16
Of the six leading Brazilian universities according to most of the well-known rankings (see
section 4), three are in São Paulo state: Universidade de São Paulo (USP) comes first,
Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UniCamp) second and the Universidade Estadual Paulista
(UNESP) fourth.
3.1.1. Universidade de São Paulo (USP)
State-funded USP is unanimously considered the leading university in Brazil, and often in Latin
America as a whole. With close to 95’000 students on 11 campuses around the state, the
university produces as much as a quarter of Brazilian research publications. As we shall see,
USP comes first in co-authorship with UNIGE, accounting to 23% of all (SciVal) co-publications.
It also signed two exchange agreements with UNIGE, following preexisting collaboration in
particular in French literature including visits by Prof. Juan Rigoli (Lettres) and Prof. Alain
Grosrichard (Lettres) in 2008. It is also part of international fora, including the M8 Alliance for
Global Health with UNIGE.
Hence, understanding the complex structure of this behemoth spread on an area larger than
Switzerland is fundamental when engaging in bilateral cooperation.17 The main campus is
located west of the city of São Paulo and comprises 21 schools, faculties and institutes.18
Three other campuses are also located in the city boundaries: the medical school (FMUSP)
and the law school close to the city center and the new School of Arts, Sciences and
Humanities (EACH) in the eastern side nearby Guarulhos International Airport. Ribeirão Preto
campus’ 8 schools and faculties19 are over 300 kilometers (a 5-hour bus drive) northwest of
USP main campus. This is where UNIGE’s students of GSEM, GSI and SDS are placed under
one of the two exchange agreements signed with USP. The six other campuses20 are spread
around the state (see figure 6).

Some highlights of two recent UNIGE student exchange reports that provide an insider view
of studying at USP and living in São Paulo can be found in Annex 2.
3.1.2. Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UniCamp)
UniCamp is considered the second leading university in Brazil and is part of the top 5 in Latin
America. Founded in 1966 at state-level, it contributes to about 17% of indexed publications
and delivers about 10% of the PhDs in the country. Very much focused on graduate studies
(half of the enrollment), it applies for more patents than any other universities in Brazil, half
of them in chemistry. Unlike USP, most of its 34’000 students are concentrated on a large
campus (Cidade Universitária) 100 kilometers north of São Paulo in the suburbs of Campinas,
the second largest city of the state with about 1 million inhabitants. There are also two
campuses in the neighboring cities of Limeira (applied sciences and technology) and
Piracicaba (dentistry).
3.1.3. Universidade Estadual Paulista "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP)
UNESP (State University of São Paulo in English) was founded in 1976 by merging 14
independent institutes of the São Paulo state into a single institution. Today, it is considered
to be part of the top five universities in Brazil and signed a cooperation agreement with
UNIGE in 2012 (which is not advertised for student/staff exchanges). Its 50’000 students are
spread on 23 campuses, many of them specialized in just a few subjects, in an area more than
three times the size of Switzerland (see Figure 7). For example, art is taught in the cities of
São Paulo and Bauru, medicine in Araçatuba and Botucatu, and so forth. The complete list of
faculties and campuses is available at http://www.unesp.br/portal#!/unidades.

3.1.4. Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)
PUC-SP is renowned in the fields of social sciences. Overall, QS ranks it in the top 10 nationally
and top 550 globally (it does not however figure in other international rankings). The
university is well connected internationally and signed an overall partnership agreement with
UNIGE (except sciences, medicine, law and FTI). The main campus is located in Perdizes close
to the center of São Paulo City, while sciences and the business school are in other parts of
the city and two smaller campuses are in neighboring cities. The institution is managed by the
Catholic Archdiocese of São Paulo, which proved problematic with regards to its finances (it is
private but not-for-profit) and its independence. Notably, protests and strikes erupted in
2012 when the least-voted candidate was appointed rector by the bishop-cardinal.
3.1.5. Other leading institutions21
The São Paulo state is also home to other important institutions. Notably, the Universidade
Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) was historically specialized in health sciences in the city of São
Paulo although it extended to various fields with five more campuses in neighboring cities. It
is considered one of the top eight universities in Brazil by the QS and Leiden rankings. The
Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR) is located 230 kilometers north of São Paulo City
and considered in the top 10 to top 15 universities in Brazil according to well-known rankings.
It specializes in education and human sciences, health sciences, sciences and technology and
agrarian sciences. Finally, the Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC) is a small and young
institution established in 2005 in the ABC region (southeast suburb of São Paulo City).
Although not well known internationally, the university was ranked 2nd (2013) and 9th (2014)

in Brazil in the government education evaluation carried out by INEP in 2013 (see section 4)
and thus should be kept on the radar.
3.2. Rio de Janeiro
Famous for its carnival parades, wide and white beaches and imposing Christ the Redeemer,
Rio de Janeiro is considered as one of the most dynamic Brazilian cities to study and conduct
research. The city of cariocas is the second largest in the country (6 million inhabitants) and is
located in the state of the same name that shares its southwest border with São Paulo.
According to FAPESP, Rio de Janeiro state came first in terms of research collaboration with
São Paulo state, its leading neighbor. It also had the second largest share of Brazilian higher
education spending on R&D (4.8%) and of PhDs programs (13.5%) after São Paulo.
Switzerland is represented in Rio de Janeiro by one of the five Swissnex offices
(http://www.swissnexbrazil.org/), the only one in Latin America (see section 6.8).
3.2.1. The Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ)
As we have seen, UFRJ was the first long-lasting Brazilian university and is now consistently
considered the third or fourth best in the country. It published 353 co-publications with
UNIGE between 2010 and 2014, the second largest number after USP according to SciVal.
The university is divided into six centers on two main campuses. The Cidade Universitária
stands on a small island in the northwest of the city called Ilha de Fundão, and has four
centers: the Center of Health Sciences (CCS), the Center of Mathematical and Natural
Sciences (CCMN), the Center of Letters and Arts (CLA) and the Technological Center (CT). Two
graduate schools on this campus stand out. Coppe – The Alberto Luiz Coimbra Institute for
Graduate Studies and Research in Engineering – hosts the largest engineering laboratory
complex in the country and is considered a leader in the field. This is also true for the
COPPEAD Graduate Business School (accredited by EQUIS, member of EFMD and AACSB), the
only Brazilian business school to figure in the 2014 Financial Times Global MBA Ranking at the
79th spot.22 The second main campus, Praia Vermelha, is located in the south of the city
nearby the famous mountain Pão de Açucar and is where the Center of Philosophy and
Human Sciences (CFCH) and the Center of Legal and Economic Sciences (CCJE) are based.
3.2.2. Pontifica Universidade Católica de Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RIO)
PUC-RIO, like its equivalent PUC-SP, is under the responsibility of catholic ministries, in this
case the Catholic Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro and the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Its main
campus Marquês de São Vicente is located in Gávea in the southwest of the city of Rio de
Janeiro. PUC-RIO is considered the 3rd (ex aequo) leading Brazilian institution by the Times
Higher Education and the 8th (ex aequo) by the QS Ranking. It also ranks better than PUC-SP in
national university rankings (see section 4).

COPPEAD slowly drifted away from the top however, from 51 in 2012, 66 in 2013, 79 in 2014,
and got ejected of the top 100 in 2015.
13
The university is divided in four main centers: the Center of Theology and Human Sciences
(CTCH), the Center of Social Sciences (CCS), the Center of Science and Technology (CTC) and
the Center of Biological and Medical Sciences (CCBS). Its Institute of International Relations
recently signed a partnership agreement with the Graduate Institute Geneva, and the first
exchange of students took place in 2014.
The highlights of the exchange report of one of these students that provide insightful
information on the experience of studying at PUC-RIO is available in Annex 1.
3.2.3. Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV)
FGV is a world-renowned think tank 23 and research and teaching institution named after a
former Brazilian president.24 Founded in 1944 and based in Rio de Janeiro, its activities are
centered on the fields of economics, business and law with six schools in Rio de Janeiro and
three in São Paulo City, for a total of 5’500 undergraduate and graduate students and
135’900 continuing education students. FGV Graduate School of Economics (EPGE) in Rio and
FGV São Paulo School of Economics (EESP) are the best Brazilian institutions in economic
research according to IDEAS REPEC. FGV São Paulo School of Business Administration (EAESP)
is the only South American business school with three accreditations (AACSB, EQUIS and
AMBA). Since 2009, this school offers a double-degree with the University of St. Gallen.25 FGV,
and in particular the São Paulo Law School (DIREITO SP), is also ranked 2nd nationally and top
200 worldwide in the field of law by QS in 2015. More detail on their programs in English is
available at http://portal.fgv.br/en/courses-fgv.
3.2.4. Other leading universities
The Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)26 is another leading university with its
main campus adjacent to the Maracanã stadium in the west of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The
university also has 5 other campuses in other cities around the state. It is part of the Times
Higher Education and QS rankings between the 601st and 800th rank (12th – 17th nationally). It
is the 6th Brazilian university in terms of co-authorship with UNIGE with 64 co-publications.
The Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA) is a public institution at the
forefront of research in mathematics. Artur Avila, an alumni and researcher of the Institute,
was the first Latin American to win the Fields Medal in 2014.
The Fundação Oswaldo Cruz is a leading public health research institute that carries out
research on new drugs and produces a large share of Brazil’s vaccines. It is located in the
same area of Rio as UFRJ, FGV and UERJ. Four recent publications of the Foundation in
23
According to Foreign Policy Magazine GoTo Think Tanks report 2014, FGV is part of the top 15
think tanks worldwide and (by far) the first in Latin America.

Getúlio Dornelles Vargas (1882-1954) was President of Brazil first as dictator from 1930 to 1945
and in a democratically elected term from 1951 until his suicide in 1954. He led Brazil for 18 years, the
longest of any of the country’s presidents.

partnership with UNIGE were identified with very large average citations per publication (see
section 6.3)
3.3. Minas Gerais
A landlocked state west of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais is the second most populous Brazilian
state. The name “Minas” (Portuguese for mines) results from the rich mineral deposits that
initially attracted settlers away from the coast. Minas Gerais has a high concentration of
education institutions around the capital, Belo Horizonte, which is the third largest
metropolitan area with over 5 million inhabitants and is Dilma Rousseff’s hometown.
3.3.1. Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)
UFMG is considered one of the best in the country. It is one of the six institutions present in
all university rankings considered. UFMG is composed of 8 schools, 8 faculties and 4 institutes
located across three main campuses: the Pampulha Campus in northern Belo Horizonte, the
Health Sciences Campus in central Belo Horizonte and the Rural Sciences Institute in Montes
Claros, 350 kilometers north.
UNIGE previously had a partnership with UFMG that expired in 2007. A communication from
2012 notes that UFMG does not react to his renewal requests and that the agreement should
be considered terminated.
3.3.2. Pontifica Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC-MG)
Like its equivalents in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, PUC-MG is a non-profit private university
and is maintained by the Catholic Archidiocese of Belo Horizonte. Although its main campus is
located in Belo Horizonte, it also owns campuses all around the state of Minas Gerais. The
school is not listed in international rankings and has no joint publications with UNIGE.
Nevertheless, it signed an exchange agreement with UNIGE available to master and PhD
students in the Faculty of Letters. According to the ranking by fields published in the Folha de
São Paulo, UFMG is the 28th best Brazilian university in letters and 47th in all fields.
3.4. Rio Grande do Sul
The southernmost state in Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul is also one of the most prosperous. Unlike
the northern half of the country, over 80% of the population has white skin and is from
Portuguese, Spanish, German or Italian ancestors (see Figure 2).27 Its capital city, Porto
Alegre, is the fourth largest metropolitan area in Brazil.
3.4.1. Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)
27
In the small touristic town of Gramado, for example, almost all restaurants are pizzerias or fondue
restaurants.
15
UFRGS is ranked between the 3rd and 6th in Brazil according to all university rankings
considered. It is the 11th Brazilian institution with the most joint publications with UNIGE (14
papers according to SciVal). The institution is located in Porto Alegre and spread on four
campuses (Campus Centro, Campus Saúde, Campus Olímpico and Campus do Vale), with a
few exceptions: the Business School and the Institute of Arts are independent buildings in the
city and a few units are located around the state. The school has some prominent alumni,
including three Brazilian presidents: Dilma Rousseff (economics), Getúlio Vargas (law) and
João Goulart (law).
3.5. Distrito Federal
The Universidade de Brasília is a federal university located in the country’s capital. QS ranks it
6th (ex-equo) in Brazil, although it figures between the 9th and the 12th position in other
rankings.
3.6. Other leading regions
Other leading regions for higher education in Brazil include Curitiba with the Universidade
Federal do Paraná and Florianopolis with the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
4. RANKINGS
In order to allow for informed decisions when selecting key future partners, it is helpful to
consider a number of “objective criteria”. This is what university rankings attempt to achieve,
although their methodologies are subject to much criticism. Table 8 presents Brazilian
universities’ achievements in five well-known international rankings and two national
rankings.
The major Brazilian newspaper Folha de São Paulo published one of the national ranking
based on research, internationalization, innovation, education and the job market. It is
interesting to note that the eighteen best universities according to this ranking are public. In
its ranking by subject, USP arrives first in 30 out of 37 subjects and third at worst.
The National System of Higher Education Evaluation (SINAES) administers the other national
ranking since 2004. This governmental evaluation of undergraduate programs is required to
obtain the necessary accreditations. The ENADE exam (also known as “Provão”) is taken
yearly by students to evaluate courses and a peer-reviewed internal and external institutional
evaluations is carried out. This process results in an aggregated score (General Index of
Courses or IGC), which is used to rank institutions.
The top 6 universities are listed in all rankings at fairly consistent ranks, and are hence
highlighted in light grey. USP, PUC-SP, UFC and PUC-MG have a partnership with UNIGE and
are highlighted in light red.

5. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
5.1.
Overview
In education as in commerce, Brazil is a very inward-looking country. It has the lowest
percentage of foreign student enrolment (just 0.5% at tertiary level) of all OECD and partner
countries with available data. Of those students, 27% come from Portuguese-speaking
countries (Portugal, Mozambique, Angola and so forth), which is due to the scarcity of
programs taught in English. This is also true for Brazilian tertiary students abroad. UNESCO
estimates their number at just 32’000 for 2013. Of these, 23% go to the United States,
followed by 18% to Portugal and 10% to France. When including language schools, there was

however a boom in outgoing students (600% increase between 2003 and 2014 according to
BELTA), which might indicate a rising interest for studies abroad. As it turns out, important
political measures have been taken since 2011 to increase the internationalization of Brazilian
higher education through the mobility of students and researchers.
To better understand this effort, it is helpful to first recap the most important institutions
responsible for higher education and research in the country (see also section 6.6 for G3 visits
to these institutions and the cofund with FAPESP).
1. Ministry of Education (MEC): elaborates a national education policy. www.mec.gov.br.
1.1. Higher Education Staff Development Office (CAPES): agency of MEC evaluating
graduate education and awarding scholarship grants to graduate students and
faculties at universities and research centers in Brazil and abroad. It supports about
22,000 students in Brazilian graduate programs and 1,500 in other countries.
www.capes.gov.br.
2. Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI): coordinates science, technology
and innovation activities at the national level. www.mcti.gov.br.
2.1. National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq): agency of the
MCTI responsible for the national promotion of scientific and technological research
and the formation of human resources for research. www.cnpq.br.
2.2. Brazilian Innovation Agency (FINEP): agency of the MCTI responsible for funding
innovative projects in science and technology led by companies or higher education
institutions. www.finep.gov.br.
3. São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP): public foundation in São Paulo state providing
grants, funds and programs to support research, education and innovation of private and
public institutions and companies. Its budget is comparable to that of CNPq.
www.fapesp.br.
5.2. Brazil Scientific Mobility Program (Science w/o Borders)
The Brazilian government launched the Brazil Scientific Mobility Program (usually known as
Science without Borders) through its agency CNPq in 2011. The objectives of this very popular
program where mainly to promote technological advances and innovation in Brazil by
increasing collaboration with the international community. To achieve this, it initially planned
to grant 100’000 scholarships to study in top universities in 20 countries.
These scholarships cover the travel, living expenses, installation assistance and health
insurance. For Brazilians going abroad, the period is 6 months at undergraduate level (up to
one year if an internship is included), up to four years at PhD level, and between 6 and 24
months at post-doc level. For young foreign researcher wishing to conduct a post-doc in
Brazil, up to 100 two-to-three-year scholarships were made available annually. Collaboration
18
between more senior researchers from Brazil and abroad is also supported for one or two
months per year if research is carried out in Brazil and on a case-by-case basis.
Thanks to its scale, the program led to a large increase in Brazilian enrolment in a number of
destination countries, notably the US, Canada, the UK, France, and Germany. Unfortunately,
the recent pressure on public finances has led the government to suspend the new
scholarships for 2016 following a 40% budget cut. The remaining funds are now covering
current
scholarships

the

their
duration. 29
See
http://www.cienciasemfronteiras.gov.br/web/csf-eng/.
UNIGE was an eligible institution in this program, which was promoted during its inception by
the International Relations Office. Nevertheless, the Office is not aware of any students who
would have immatriculated as part of this framework.
5.3. International summer/winter schools in Brazil
A number of renowned European universities (Netherlands, UK, Germany, Italy) organize
summer schools in Brazil for their students, which could be a neat way for UNIGE to offer
quality short programs in Brazil looking forward. This section provides a few examples of such
initiatives.




The University of Groningen partnered with USP, UFMG and UFRGS to offer a threeweek Winter 2016 course on Dutch Urban, Environmental and Transportation
Planning taught in the two Brazilian states and in the Netherlands. Registrations for
the program greatly exceeded the expectations of the organizing committee,
according to their website. 30
Five students of Kent Law School also visited UFMG and UFGRS in the context of a
five-week law summer school in 2015.31
An interdisciplinary group of six professors of the University of Goettingen and six
professors of the Universidade Federal de Voçosa (UFV) teamed up in 2014 to
propose a summer school on climate and land use change to a class of 29 students
mainly from Germany and Brazil and hosted by UFV. According to the report, a major
goal of this program was to promote the department of Conservation Biology of the
University of Goettingen abroad as well as to initiate research collaboration between
the two universities through prospective research proposals.32
A one-week winter school targeting PhD students, post-docs and researchers with
interests in solid state chemistry was proposed jointly by the University of Torino, the
Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) and UNESP in Natal in 2012. This
course is part of the biannual MSSC program held in different destinations around the
globe.33

5.4. Erasmus Mundus
Erasmus Mundus is another important mobility program available for Brazilian students. Since its inception
in 2004, more than 540 Brazilian students have been selected for Erasmus Mundus scholarships.
5.5. Other mobility scholarships
The Exchange Program for Undergraduate Students (PEC-G) offers full scholarships to students from 25
African countries, 25 LAC countries and 7 Asian countries. The Exchange Program for Graduate Students
(PEC-PG) is its equivalent and is available to nationals of 29 African countries and 9 LAC countries.
FAPESP offers scholarships to students enrolled in undergraduate, masters and PhD programs to spend up
to one year in a research laboratory or institution abroad doing work related to their project in Brazil
(Grant for Research Studies Abroad).
Santander Bank’s mobility program and Fundação Estudar’s studying-abroad program are examples of
private-sector involvement.

In addition to these active partnerships, recent cooperation agreements were signed with
UNESP, USP, UnB and UNICAMP following a visit of the G3 in Brazil in 2014 (see section 6.6).
These do not include student and staff exchanges so far. Christa Lang (International Relations
Office) visited UFRJ in 2015 with the support of Swissnex (see section 6.8) but no agreement
was reached so far with universities in Rio de Janeiro.

6.2. Brazilian visitors at UNIGE
The database of the International Relations Office contains 143 records of Brazilian students
or researchers who visited UNIGE since 1997 (not including full-time Brazilian students or
researchers). Figure 9 provides some statistics on the flow over time, their level and field of
study and the most common universities of origin. The full list is presented in the Annex.
It appears clearly that the number of Brazilians visiting UNIGE grew in recent years with a
peak in 2014. Most visitors whose academic status could be identified were PhD students
(almost 40) followed by bachelor students and post-docs (19 each). The same proportions
remain when restricting the period to recent years (2010-16).
The majority (over 40%) came from the state of São Paulo (including 27 from USP, 16 from
PUC-SP, 7 from UNESP and 6 from Unicamp). States that are also well represented are Rio de
Janeiro (16 mostly from UFRJ and PUC-RIO) and Minas Gerais (15 mostly from UFMG and
PUC-MG). When restricting the period as previously, the State of Curitiba takes over Minas
Gerais.
The disciplines that were the most represented among the visitors were education (26) and
medicine (18), which is coherent with the joint-publications identified in section 6.3 below.
Indeed, the same individuals are often found as co-authors either on the Swiss or Brazilian
side. Likewise, the strongest cluster of collaboration identified in the next section is in the
School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and it turns out that 22 visitors are from the fields of
biology, chemistry or pharmacy. Law (16) and international affairs (12) are also well
represented, which may be explained by the attractiveness of Geneva in these fields.
Matching universities of origin with fields of study also brings useful information on
departmental-level networks. This approach highlights that medicine has strong links with
USP, pharmacy with UNESP, law with USP and UnB, and philosophy with PUC-SP.
Further analysis indicates that 38% of visitors stayed up to 6 months, 34% between 7 and 12
months, 8% between 13 and 18 months and 20% between 19 and 25 months. The most
frequent supervisors cited were Jean-Luc Wolfender (pharmacy), Joaquim Dolz-Mestre (FPSE),
Bernard Schneuwly (FPSE), Frédéric Tinguely (Lettres) and Abdeljalil Akkari (FPSE).

6.3. Joint publications
22
Elsevier’s SciVal, Microsoft’s Academic Search and general Google entries were used to collect
information on recent links between collaborators of UNIGE and their peers in Brazilian
institutions. These two first tools contain data on publications and affiliations and span a large
portion of the literature. However, it is important to note the strong bias towards publications
in “hard sciences”, in particular the field of physics, and those written in English. In fact, most
publications retrieved through this method are research papers in physics with dozens and
often hundreds of co-authors. Due to the presence of the CERN in the Geneva area, local
researchers are frequently part of research projects, which does not mean that any close
collaboration has been carried out with a Brazilian scholar. Similar problems may also appear
in other scientific areas.
Given the size of Brazil, a large number of publications were found. Figure 10 ranks Brazilian
institutions by the number of co-published papers between 2010 and 2014 found with SciVal.
The third column also provides data on the citations per publication, a proxy for the average
academic impact.
For the ease of the reader and to maximize the chances that a real relationship exists
between the Brazilian and UNIGE researchers, a special focus was put on papers published in
relatively close collaboration (defined as papers with up to 12 co-authors published in the last
five years at most). This focus approach identified networks of researchers working in
partnership and publishing several times together. They are listed here in descending order
based on the number of co-publications.

are members of the “Atheroremo Consortium” that obtained in 2008 a grant (EU FP7, Grant
number 201668) by the European Commission. They also benefit of the support of the Swiss
National Foundation (SNF). Main collaborations include the research group of Prof. Da silva
and Prof. Robson at UFMG. Prof. Mach also published a recent paper in partnership with the
Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC). See Annex 1 for more detail.

6.4. Brazil-Swiss Joint Research Program
In September 2009 a framework agreement on technical and scientific cooperation was
signed between Brazil and Switzerland. The Brazil-Swiss Joint Research Program program is
now led by the EPFL (http://cooperation.epfl.ch/SeedMoneyBR-2015) with the support of the
Confederation. Seed Money grants aim at encouraging scientific partnership initiatives with
Brazil in specific domains. They are also meant to prepare the researchers to apply for a Joint
Research Project at the SNSF. The program led to 6 projects in the period 2013-2015, but
none at UNIGE. They are listed at http://cooperation.epfl.ch/page-111222-en.html.
Following the visit of a Swiss delegation headed by J. Schneider-Ammann in Brazil in April
2014, a new call for joint projects between SNSF and Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do
Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ) was launched in March 2015. The deadline of the call was
the 23 October 2015 and it was open for research activities within all scientific disciplines and
fields of research. 38 applications were received and 14 were accepted for a total of
CHF 210'000 across research projects (maximum CHF 25’000 per project) and workshops,
events or conferences projects (maximum CHF 10’000 per project). Two originated form

6.6. G3-Brazil
The G3, a group of three leading French-speaking universities (University of Montreal,
Université Libre de Bruxelles and UNIGE), visited Brazil in May 2014.37
37
See http://g3univ.org/premiere-mission-du-g3-au-bresil-3-grandes-universites-francophonesaccueillies-au-bresil/.
28
Prof. Margareta Baddeley, vice-rector of UNIGE at the time, was part of the delegation that signed
cooperation agreements with UNESP, USP and UnB (UNICAMP was also visited).
They then met with representatives of MEC, MCTI, CNPq, CAPES and FAPESP (see section 5.1),
which resulted in the signature of an agreement with FAPESP to fund joint projects between
researchers from G3 and São Paulo universities. In this context, a “joint seed fund” financed
equally between G3 and FAPESP was created and a first call for projects was launched the same
year.38 The condition was that it should be proposed by at least three G3 researchers and at least
one of the state of São Paulo, the latter being subject to the general conditions of the Sao Paulo
Researchers in International Collaboration (SPRINT). Unfortunately, only one project could be
financed through this mean, which resulted in little returns relative to the complex organizational
process it required. For this reason, no new call for projects is expected in the near future.
6.7. COIMBRA-Brazil
The Latin America Task Force of the COIMBRA Group39 is meant to disseminate knowledge
about the Coimbra Group universities and the European higher education system among
higher education institutions in Latin America, and vice-versa. It also facilitates and supports
collaboration projects between Coimbra Group members and partners there. The main
partner in Brazil is the “Coimbra Group of Brazilian Universities” (CGBU) and most of the joint
activities take place through this network-network cooperation (there is an umbrella
agreement).
An example of this collaboration is the "Coimbra Group Scholarship Programme for Young
Professors and Researchers from Latin American Universities", launched for the first time in
January 2004. This initiative, which offers yearly grants to finance short-term research visits,
aims at favoring mobility and academic exchange between both regions (mostly Brazilian and
Argentinian scholars). A new call will be launched in January 2016.40
Various activities also included facilitating the exchange of researchers and PhD students,
setting up a seminar on Brazilian studies and thematic workshops for researchers,41 and
creating a Web Platform (hosted by the University of Coimbra) to facilitate the mobility of
researchers and PhD students between the CG and the CGBU. The latter project has been
approved by the Brazilian side and is now under testing.42
According to the minutes of the meeting of the Executive Board in Q4 2011, an agreement
between the CG and the CGBU was also signed regarding the Science without Borders
Program (see section 5.2) that grants specific access to the scholarships for Coimbra
university members.

6.8. Swissnex Rio de Janeiro
Swissnex Brazil is an initiative of Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Education, Research and
Innovation (SERI), managed in cooperation with the Department of Foreign Affairs as an
annex of the Consulate General of Switzerland in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Christa Lang
visited it in 2015 and received support to get an appointment with UFRJ. They charge fees for
their networking services.

“À travers les textes relatant les expériences françaises au Brésil aux XVIe et XVIIe siècle, nous verrons comment
l'existence éphémère d'un « Brésil français », a contribué à la vision du Nouveau Monde dans la littérature
française et à la construction progressive de la figure du Sauvage, cannibale sanguinaire ou incarnation d'une
sagesse perdue. Nous aborderons la relation problématique de Paulmier de Gonneville, par laquelle la France
revendique la primauté de la découverte du Brésil, ainsi que les oeuvres issues des brèves expériences coloniales.
La France Antarctique, établie de 1555 à 1560 dans la baie de Rio, a ainsi donné naissance à des oeuvres célèbres
(André Thevet, Jean de Léry), premiers grands succès de la littérature de voyage, qui dessinent les contours de
l'exotisme américain, transportent dans le Nouveau monde les affrontements religieux qui déchirent l'Europe, et
donnent matière à une vaste réflexion sur ce que signifient pour l'Europe ces échanges avec un Monde Nouveau
(Montaigne). Les récits moins connus de la France Equinoxiale, des capucins Claude d'Abbeville et Yves d'Evreux
décrivent quant à eux un Brésil en mutation, où les contacts entre Européens et Amérindiens, déjà anciens, sont
entraînés vers un nouvel équilibre, instable et problématique, celui des dynamiques coloniales et missionnaires.”

8. ANNEXES
8.1. Summary of student exchange reports
Universidade de São Paulo (USP)
1) Faculty of Economy and Administration in Ribeirão Preto, spring 2015
City and safety: Ribeirão Preto is about 5 hours away from São Paulo City by long distance bus
and also has an airport. You get there by less than one-hour flight from São Paulo. For
Brazilian standards, the city is boring and small. It is a lot safer than São Paulo City or any
other Brazilian town that hits the one million mark. Rich and middle class Brazilians still lock
themselves in guarded gated communities and highly secured buildings. Going out is no
problem during the day, but at night you should better take a taxi. When walking through
Brazilian downtown centres, always be aware of your surroundings. It can be difficult to live in
Ribeirão Preto without a car. Be ready to wait for buses and to pass some headache before
you understand how the bus system works.
Language and integration: I recommend learning a good Portuguese before arrival because it
is hard to find your way round without it. At the USP this does not hold true – most students
speak English. If you do an exchange with the FEA-RP (Faculty of Economy and Administration
in Ribeirão Preto), you will not need any Portuguese proficiency in order to be allowed to take
classes. The FEA faculty offers a limited amount of courses in English. Brazilians welcome
travellers and exchange students, help them out, give valuable tips and integrate strangers
easily. As an international student you get a “buddy” who helps you find your way round.
Housing and campus life: Many local and international students live in repúblicas with
between 10 and 25 other students, where sometimes only cleaning personnel really care
about hygiene. Some of my friends who live in big repúblicas (10+ students) share their room
and sleep on a matrass on the floor. If you do not like your accommodation, you can change it
in less than a week. You’ll easily find accommodation in a república for under 600R$ (about
180 CHF). Eating lunch or dinner in the “bandeijão”, the student restaurant on the campus,
will cost you 0.60CHR (yes, 60 cents!). The food is always the same, rice and beans but a
different meat and salad every day. There is a lake on the campus, a swimming pool, a gym,
many cafeterias and three banks.
Academics: Firstly, the little class sizes (less than 40 students per class) makes you feel like in
high school rather than in university. Secondly, only nerds, Japanese and international
students pay attention and take notes. If the class begins at 8am, you’ll probably be the first
one to arrive at around 8:10. Everybody is late. Always. Once the class starts, students walk in
and out, eat or do whatever. I was worried about not passing the exams once people told me
that the USP is the best university in Brazil. Don’t be. If you pass exams in Geneva, you will
pass them here too. And if you should not pass – well, it’s Brazil – go and negotiate with your
professor.
2) USP in São Paulo, academic year 2014-2015
33
São Paulo is a giant and disfunctionning city and visitors need an adaptation period, but after
a while it becomes easy to get around and understand the functionning of such a metropole.
Once arrived, it is required to personnaly go to the Federal police to ask for a visa. It is
possible to find good (shared) appartments for 1000 reais (about 246 CHF) but inflation is
high. Professors are available and globally very motivated by the teaching material. Most
exchange students did not have priority for courses registration, which caused problems. I
had no safety issue but it is important to be prudent.
Pontifica Universidade Católica de Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RIO)43
(Please do not circulate externally)
Academic semester: the semester began on August 11th. The administration required our
presence already a week before so we could attend the orientation week. The end of the
semester was confusing. Some students could leave at the end of November; some had
classes until the half of December.
Courses: Each course was taught 4 classes/week (Portuguese 6 classes/week). A 75 % overall
attendance is compulsory. The offer of Master's courses in international relations at PUC
taught in English is extremely limited. Moreover, the courses were open to every student,
regardless of their major, which notably influenced the quality of discussions and work ethic
in class. Some professors adopted a very relaxed approach to classes (randomly canceling
classes, regularly dismissing classes in the half of the allocated time slot). In several cases the
on-line syllabi turned out to be very inaccurate, old or describing a completely different
course that was taught.
Administration: although the administration was friendly and willing to help, they often
provided misleading or inaccurate information, which caused sometimes major
complications. Besides the International Cooperation Centre the PUC administration’s
knowledge of English was limited.
Student organizations: there are no or almost none student organizations at PUC. The
university itself occasionally organizes conferences, exhibitions or other events.
Housing and expenses: PUC does not have at its disposal any owned student accommodation.
Students can choose a home stay of R$1400/month provided by PUC or find accommodation
on their own. My weekly grocery expenses ranged from R$ 160 to R$ 320.
Life experience: notwithstanding all the complications I am genuinely thankful for this
experience. What I learned at PUC and in Brazil could never be learnt in Geneva. PUC and the
city offer many opportunities but they need to be taken proactively. Portuguese is crucial for
the stay. The faster the students were learning, the more of the experience they were able to
grasp. Security represents a key issue. I heard a story about a robbed student or about other

incidents every week. On the other hand, if a person behaves reasonably, the danger
significantly diminishes.
