São Paulo School of Advanced Science

The University of São Paulo's Provost for Inclusion and Belonging, with support from FAPESP, proposes the São Paulo School of Advanced Science in University, Memory and Reparation to address the links between academic research and reparation processes, and recognizing the inseparability of reparation and memory.

The School addresses the social role of the University, not only as a platform and repository for research on the themes of memory, justice, and reparation but also as a relevant institution in these processes. The school stresses the debate on the role of the university as a safeguard of archives and collections, as an entity that interprets and makes available places of memory to society, as an institution that can promote (or obstruct) the right to memory, an institution that can carry social reparation initiatives.

Researchers from all over the world and from all disciplines are invited to submit proposals to participate in the program – especially those whose research projects relate to the concepts of memory and reparation, and whose goal is to contribute to the proposal, promotion and acceleration of reparation processes.

Fifty participants from outside Brazil will be selected, 20 from the State of São Paulo and 30 from other Brazilian states. The selection will be based on the candidate’s letter of interest and curriculum to be submitted for selection, respecting regional diversity and criteria of gender and ethnic-racial equity.
