Visiting Scholar in March 2024
The Visiting Scholars Program is an initiative designed to facilitate an exchange of ideas and expertise in the realm of Business and Human Rights (BHR). This program extends a warm invitation to distinguished professors from Europe and Brazil to partake in a weeklong immersive experience in São Paulo, creating a platform for collaborative learning and knowledge sharing.
The Business and Human Rights Visiting Scholars Program corresponds to the main action systematically involving and coordinating the European experts in-person presence and collaboration with the CoE. The Program consists of a week stay of six European experts and six Brazilian experts (outside São Paulo) and entails the production of a Research Note on an aspect intimately connected with the BHR, an Open Lecture around the same topic addressed in the written contribution, targeting a wider audience of students, future researchers and practitioners, and a Lecture within an ongoing discipline, targeting regular students and impacting their background.
