FAPESP announces the result for the state of São Paulo of the call for proposals from the National Council of State Research Support Foundations (CONFAP) with Wallonie-Bruxelles International (WBI), from Belgium. The call aims to support scientific exchange between research groups with current support in the state support foundations (FAPs) and their peers in the WBI.
