Inaugural cohort of Fulbright Amazonia: scholars unite for a sustainable Amazon

Step into the heart of the Amazon Basin, where 16 brilliant minds gather for a groundbreaking initiative. Join us as we present a teaser of the Opening Orientation Group Meeting for the inaugural cohort of Fulbright Amazonia Scholars in Belém, Pará, Brazil, from June 19 to 22, 2023.
Led by Professors Jeffrey Hoelle, University of California Santa Barbara, and Carlos Valério Gomes, Universidade Federal do Pará, these scholars converge to tackle the pressing interdisciplinary challenges of the Amazon region.
Cross-border collaboration plays a pivotal role in influencing policies and practices as we approach a critical tipping point for the Amazon. As the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) partners with the Fulbright Commission in Brazil and the Institute of International Education, a new platform emerges - Fulbright Amazonia. This initiative empowers researchers from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, the United States, and Venezuela to conduct cutting-edge, action-oriented research.
