Scientific and Technological Cooperation FCT/CAPES
2013-2015

It is with great satisfaction we would like to communicate that CEDU's application for FCT/CAPES funding for young investigators exchange between Brazil and Portugal has been approved. The project "Interconstitutionality: constitutional provisions in network-style and European integration in worldwide society" presented by Minho University in partnership with Paraíba's Federal University, Brasília's University and São Paulo's Pontifícia Universidade Católica (PUC), will allow the circulation of CEDU's young investigators during the years of 2013 and 2015, who are developing a PhD in that topic. Likewise, Minho University's Law School will receive PhD and post-PhD students from the Brazilian Universities who are our partners, for periods of up to one year. It is worth pointing out that Minho University was the only Portuguese institution to have a Law (Public Law) project approved within the scope of this programme of cooperation between Brazil and Portugal - which testifies the excellence of the investigation that Minho University Law School has been developing in the field of European Union Law.
