OPORTUNIDADE DE ESTÁGIOS NA HOLANDA

3 de março de 2017


A UFV é membro da associação Living Lab Biobased Brazil (www.biobasedbrazil.org/), desde sua fundação. A associação promove a internacionalização das instituições de ensino superior no Brasil e na Holanda, se concentrando no Brasil no estado de Minas Gerais, e na Holanda, em universidades de ciências aplicadas. Uma das principais atividades é o intercâmbio de estudantes, para estudos, pesquisa e estágios. Informações sobre as experiências de estudantes brasileiros e holandeses dentro desse programa podem ser observadas em: www.biobasedbrazil.org/student/blogs/

A chamada apresentada a seguir indica instruções para estudantes da UFV se candidatarem a estágios em projetos na Holanda. Os projetos estão relacionados às seguintes áreas: Química, Engenharia Química, Engenharia Ambiental, Gerenciamento de Recursos Hídricos. Pedimos que os interessados leiam as instruções a seguir, em Inglês, para obterem todas as informações necessárias.

Um dos pontos exigidos para participação no programa é a apresentação de comprovação de proficiência em Inglês. As instruções indicam os testes oficiais que são aceitos. Podemos adiantar que serão aceitos também os resultados do exame TOEFL ITP, aplicado gratuitamente pela UFV nos últimos anos. A DRI está tentando junto com o DLA o oferecimento de um exame especial de proficiência em Inglês que possa ser oferecido em meados de março, com resultado até o final do mesmo mês. Caso seja possível oferecer esse exame, faremos sua divulgação.

MOOC Biobased Economy Introduction

We offer again a free online course to Brazilian students. This course is taught in English and is about an introduction to the Biobased Economy. I would like to ask you to share this opportunity with your students. Please see more information in the appendix.

 

De MOOC Biobased Economy Introduction starts March 6th!
To realize the transition to a biobased economy, we need professionals! The MOOC Biobased Economy Introduction offers you the opportunity to learn more about the biobased economy in an interactive way.

What is a biobased economy?
Our current economy is a fossil based economy. We are dependent upon oil and gas for our electricity, cooling and heating, fuels for transport, as well as for the production of materials and chemicals. A biobased economy on the other hand, is not dependent upon fossil resources but is based on biomass.

The MOOC Biobased Economy Introduction focuses on green chemistry, technology and environmental science. Click here to watch the introduction movie.
