“…The relationship with France and Germany may be a reflection of the language barrier, as well as cultural and historical ties. French universities are also evident in the Engineering and Technology areas (de Sandes-Guimaraes et al 2020 ). This may be due to the creation of specific programs, such as the 40 year old Brafitec program (Grochocki and Guimarães 2017 ) based on undergraduate student mobility from the Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (Capes, Brazilian Ministry of Education) and the CAPES-Cofecub agreement (Nunes 2006 ).…”

International collaboration in Brazilian science: financing and impact

et al. 2020

The study of international collaborations can help in understanding the benefits of such relationships and aid in developing national financing policies. In this paper, the international collaboration of Brazilian scientists was studied using SciVal ® and Incites ® database, looking at its effect on the universities, financing agencies and different areas of knowledge and research topic clusters. Cluster and principal component analyses of scientometric data were carried out. While the results confirmed known knowledge that international collaboration increases impact, this study shows that Brazilian researchers are contributing to prominent research topics worldwide, in all areas of knowledge. This finding is contrary to several points of view that identify Brazil as a regional and not an international partner in science. Important also to note the impact of Brazilian authors in international collaboration that is well above the world mean. The collaboration of Brazil with foreign partners brings benefits for both sides, creating the opportunity of Brazilian research access to financing from international agencies. Increases in measures of impact are also seen for both sides. Foreign partners likewise benefit from higher impact factors in the same topic cluster, when collaborating with Brazilian partners. Publishing open access in high impact journals is fundamental for maintaining Brazilian science at the forefront.

“…As for the role of educational institutions, the literature presents universities as participants in the development of entrepreneurs in startups, offering experiences such as (1) entrepreneurship courses or technology projects (Lockett, Quesada-Pallar es, Williams-Middleton, Padilla-Mel endez, & Jack, 2017;Toutain, Fayolle, Pittaway, & Politis, 2017) (Cançado, Reisel, & Walker, 2018), (4) expansion of the worldview through exchange programs (Breznitz & Zhang, 2020;Sandes-Guimaraes, Ribeiro, Axel-Berg, Manços, & Plonski, 2019) and others.…”

PurposeThis study aims to analyze the phenomenon of entrepreneurial spawning in the new context of software startups, revisiting theory and identifying patterns within the emergence of startups/spin-offs in Brazil.Design/methodology/approachA study of two cases of startups recognized for generating several spin-offs founded by former employees. The authors based the data collection on the following triangulation: 11 in-depth interviews, systematic analysis of 33 resumes from entrepreneurs in spawned firms and document analysis.FindingsSix skills developed in startups were identified: (1) structuring a company, (2) people management, (3) strategic/operational planning, (4) commercial/sales, (5) product development, and (6) behavioral traits. In addition, points of contradiction concerning the literature were found, such as the absence of the location effect, different professional experiences and new local agents to support startups.Research limitations/implicationsThe present study covers only two cases in the context of software startups, which requires caution and discretion in extrapolating to other contexts.Practical implicationsThe understanding of the phenomenon may reflect in: university programs focused on internships in startups, corporate training programs for entrepreneurs and the design of public policies based on entrepreneurial spawning.Originality/valueThe present study stands out for its access to data from high-impact startups in Brazil, in addition to revisiting the literature bringing a new perspective to the specificities of high-growth software companies.

“…Exposure to a new environment can have lasting effects on personal and professional development (Ruth et al, 2018;Vanden Berg & Schwander, 2019). This experience may increase the probability of a student moving overseas to pursue advanced degrees (Kato & Suzuki, 2018) or may introduce students to new perspectives (De Sandes-Guimaraes et al, 2019), in addition to improving employability (Petzold, 2017). It is also likely that these opportunities will be enhanced by networking among students and faculty during an overseas educational experience.…”

An online international pharmacy summer course during the COVID-19 pandemic

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The University of Southern California School of Pharmacy has offered a residential summer course for international undergraduate pharmacy students for many years, with a focus on clinical therapeutics. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic made it impossible to offer the on-campus course. After some discussion, the course was moved online, with the goals of maintaining links with international partners and providing students with a virtual study abroad experience. This article describes the planning and implementation of this course, which was held for two weeks in July 2020 for 19 students from South Korea, Taiwan and Saudi Arabia. The course included an integrated science and clinical approach to diabetes and drug-drug interactions. The facilitation of active learning and problem-solving in transnational student groups through Zoom meetings are described. A post-course survey of students provided positive feedback on the content and online delivery of the course.
