Visiting Scholar in March 2024
From Business and Human Rights to Rights-Based OrganizingThe 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.
