Partnership between IBRAF and Trends to promote research
During his recent visit to the United Arab Emirates, the president of the Brazil Africa Institute (IBRAF), professor João Bosco Monte, met the CEO of Trends Research & Advisory, Dr. Mohammed Abdullah Al-Ali. The agenda took place at the institution’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi. Trends Research & Advisory invited professor João Bosco Monte to discuss joint initiatives and learn from the Brazilian experience.
Trends Research & Advisory collaborators heard from IBRAF’s president how they can benefit from IBRAF’s relevant work in the development of scientific research and alternative technologies, publications, round tables and events, and knowledge exchange between young researchers.
According to professor João Bosco Monte, Trends Research & Advisory showed interest in a joint action to train young Africans, along the lines of what already happens in IBRAF programs, such as the Youth Technical Training Program and the IBRAF Fellowship Program. “It was a great opportunity to strengthen ties between IBRAF and Trends Research & Advisory for a cooperation agenda involving Brazil, Africa and the United Arab Emirates,” commented professor João Bosco Monte.
