The International Cooperation Group of Brazilian Universities (GCUB) is a non-profit civil society association of academic, scientific and cultural nature. GCUB's programs and projects are aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers and professors from all areas of knowledge. Through these programs, thousands of Brazilian and foreign students have the opportunity to further their studies and share values and visions with people from other cultures. This academic mobility also provides knowledge of different educational and research systems, and different academic training paths. Some of the main programs are: GCUB International Mobility Program – GCUB-Mob and GCUB-Palestine for Refugees Program.
The GCUB International Mobility Program – GCUB-Mob is promoted by GCUB and aims to contribute to the development of high academic level students from the five continents, as well as promoting university internationalization and strengthening international cooperation between Brazilian universities and institutions of other countries. This program is intended to select candidates for the attribution of scholarships, accompanied by monthly stipends, offered by Brazilian universities associated with GCUB, within the framework of the GCUB International Mobility Program - GCUB-Mob. These scholarships are destined for full time Master’s and Doctoral programs in Brazil.
The GCUB-Palestine for Refugees Program is promoted by GCUB with the support of the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Representative Office in Ramallah, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), and the Palestinian Studies Center. Recognizing education as a fundamental tool for social transformation, the GCUB-Palestine for Refugees Mobility Program aims to provide Palestinian students access to full undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs at Brazilian universities affiliated with GCUB, enabling them to acquire knowledge and skills that contribute to building a brighter future.
