The programme, ‘British Council Researcher Links’ provides opportunities for early career researchers from the UK and internationally to interact, learn from each other and explore opportunities for building long-lasting research collaborations.
As part of this programme, we are now recruiting PhD students(advanced stage or near the completion of their thesis) or early career researchers to participate in the above workshop.
The workshop will provide a unique opportunity for sharing research expertise and networking. During the workshops participants will have the opportunity to present their research and discuss it with with junior and senior researchers from the UK and Brazil. There will be a focus on building up links for future collaborations. Participants participants will be selected on the basis of their research potential and ability to build longer term links.
The British Council and the Fundação de Apoio à Pesquisa do Distrito Federal (FAP-DF) will cover the costs related to the participation to the workshop, including: travel (both international and local), accommodation and meals, as well as visa costs. Participants will be responsible for making all the necessary arrangements.

Equal Opportunities
Equal opportunities and diversity are at the heart of the British Council’s cultural relations ambitions. While recognising that some research fields are dominated by one particular gender, co-ordinators are encouraged to work towards an equal gender balance, promote diversity. They must not exclude applicants on the basis of ethnicity, gender, religious belief, sexual orientation, or disability. Participants’ selection undertaken by workshop organizers must not contravene this policy. Extra support to enable participation of Early Career Researchers with special needs will be given.
