2020/2021 Fellow | Centre for Global Cooperation Research – University of Duisburg-Essen | Duisburg
I am a German Chancellor Fellow from the 2020/2021 cohort and this fellowship gave me the opportunity to develop my own research in the area of Internet governance, which is an area that requires intense international cooperation. I was able to help establish multistakeholder dialogues between Brazil and Europe, especially with Germany, which still bears fruit today. Furthermore, at the beginning of my fellowship, I connected with the Brazilian Embassy in Berlin and created, together with other Brazilian researchers in Germany, the Apoena Network, which aims to boost Brazil-Germany collaboration in the area of research and development.
This fellowship is a very good example of science diplomacy, putting in place the opportunity to strengthen the scientific and innovation cooperation between Germany and other countries, especially mentioning Brazil. The cooperation between Germany and Brazil will certainly lose very much with the discontinuation of this fellowship. I am sure that having gone through the scholarship is a great plus and my career has reached a different level since then. Finally, I would like to emphasize the privilege of being part of this prestigious network of Humboldtians, which professionally has allowed me to have access to good opportunities and contacts that I would hardly have had without this support.
