Pontes Brazil

The Pontes Brazil program partners with top Brazilian institutions.

 

Eligible students are selected through their home university's process. Students selected will come to Purdue University's West Lafayette campus in the Fall 2024 semester or the Spring 2025 semester. Partnerships are through the following institutions:

• The University of Campinas
• University of São Paulo
• Federal University of Rio de Janeiro

The primary objective is to introduce students to the world of research and graduate-level work at Purdue University, Department of Computer Science. By engaging participants in hands-on research experiences, they will collaborate closely with faculty mentors on specific projects throughout the program. This immersive approach aims not only to instill a deep understanding of their chosen field but also to cultivate a strong connection with Purdue's academic environment. Through meaningful engagement with faculty mentors, participants will gain invaluable insights and skills, laying a foundation for their future academic and professional endeavors at the graduate level.
