About the session
The landscape for innovation in Brazil is changing fast. R&D budgets are rising. Brazilian researchers are at the forefront of developments from biofuels to human genomics and ITC, but what are the real prospects for STI in Brazil, and how can the UK and Europe scale up collaboration with this emerging scientific player? In this keynote address, the speaker discusses the results of six months of extensive fieldwork and of interviews with leading Brazilian innovators, scientists and policymakers, undertaken in partnership with the Brasilia-based think-tank CGEE.
