São Paulo School of Advance Science on Renewable Energies


Antes da virada do milênio, ficou claro que era necessário buscar uma ou mais fontes de energia em quantidade, qualidade e disponibilidade para substituir as fontes tradicionais baseadas em carbono. Entre as fontes disponíveis, a energia solar, a biomassa, a hidrelétrica, a onda, a maré, a energia geotérmica e a eólica podem substituir com sucesso as fontes tradicionais de petróleo, gás e carvão.

Como no resto do mundo, o Brasil tem dispendido grandes esforços para desenvolver tecnologia e implementar novas fontes de energia. Dentro deste quadro, a Escola São Paulo de Ciência Avançada Energias Renováveis é uma oportunidade para que estudantes e acadêmicos participantes interajam com pesquisadores de renome mundial em um curso intensivo de duas semanas em São Paulo. Além disso, o ambiente acadêmico também proporcionará a oportunidade de iniciar ou continuar estudos técnicos-científicos no Brasil e, particularmente, em uma das universidades de nível internacional no Estado de São Paulo.

A FAPESP financiará passagens aéreas e despesas de permanência para estudantes selecionados para participar da escola. Estudantes de todo o mundo são convidados a aplicar. O prazo de candidatura é até 15 de abril de 2018.
