Join us for a series of conversations on ways in which the US and the Brazilian scientific communities can cooperate on strengthening their scientific and technological industries. How can new technologies help with Brazil’s health resilience, green economy, and air and space programs? In what ways can the US work with Brazil and the Brazilian diaspora in the United States to further develop the research, technological advancements, and innovative landscape in Brazil? How can technology be a driver of innovation and economic development?

Please note that this event will occur on the 9th floor of our building located at 1030 15th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005.
