Scientific and educational cooperation between Brazil and the European Union

The article characterizes the scientific and educational cooperation between Brazil and the EU on the example of specific programs, discusses recent changes in the European policy of internationalization of science and education, as well as problems that limit the possibilities of cooperation with Brazil due to the insufficiently high level of development of science and education in this country. International cooperation in this area can play an important role in Brazil's national and regional development. The problems that exist in the scientific and educational policy of Brazil and the possibilities of their solution through cooperation with the EU are analyzed. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to adopt a new program document for Brazil and the EU on the development, implementation and financing of joint scientific and educational projects in the near future.
