Science without borders (CsF)
Recently it was announced that the Brazilian government will provide another 100.000 scholarships for stays abroad of Brazilian students, PhD-students and postdocs for the period from 2015-2018 within the program "Science without borders". Germany counts among the preferred target regions of CsF-scholarship holders within the first funding period from 2011-2014 and is looking forward for receiving an even greater number of students, PhD-students and postdocs from Brazil in the future.
The special program with Germany is called "CsF Alemanha": The selection of Brazilian applicants is done by the Brazilian organizations CAPES and CNPq within a national call. The requirements and the selection criteria within "CsF Alemanha" are established in close cooperation with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The application of Brazilian applicants shall be filed to their Brazilian home university where it will be verified formally by the respective coordinator.
In the next step the formally admitted applications will be filed to the intermediary organizations CAPES and CNPq. Afterwards them and the DAAD choose jointly the appropriate applicants. Applicants evaluated positively get a privileged access to the special internet platform of the DAAD "CsF Alemanha". There the Brazilian CsF-scholarship holders can apply for admission to the offer of a German university suitable to their interests.
Together with the acceptance of the scholarhsip their holders inform CAPES, CNPq and DAAD about their special interests. The CsF-scholarship holders looking for Undergraduate Sandwich offers can nominate up to 3 preferred study courses at a German university presented in the database. The final decision about the admission of Brazilian applicants is taken by the respective German universities.
Technische Universität Chemnitz was participating in the CsF-program from the very beginning and is very proud to welcome a constantly raising number of CsF-scholarship holders from Brazil. Thus, in this winter term alone 25 Brazilian students will come over for studies at Technische Universität Chemnitz within the program.
