Internationalization

International Collaboration and Dual Degree Programs

In addition to publishing in leading international journals, researchers in the program actively engage in major thematic networks and individual partnerships with prestigious institutions abroad. These collaborations—which include frequent visits by foreign professors to our laboratories—account for approximately 40% of the program’s scientific output.

Faculty members also hold influential roles in international decision-making bodies, such as:

  • Scientific societies

  • Thematic institutes

  • Editorial boards of academic journals

(Detailed information is available on each advisor’s Lattes CV.)

Institutional Partnerships and Dual Degrees

The program’s international engagement is formalized through institutional agreements, offering students opportunities for:

  • Research exchanges

  • Dual doctoral degrees (defending a single thesis at both USP and a partner institution)

Recently Established Dual-Degree Partnerships:

  • Hasselt University (Belgium)

  • University of Florida (USA)

  • University of Twente (Netherlands)
