No wp-2023-49, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of the Science without Borders ( Ciência sem Fronteiras - CSF) programme on participants' post-graduation enrolment, employment, and entrepreneurship. The programme was launched in 2011 to increase students' human capital and interest in science and postgraduate education studies through a substantial increase in scholarships for Brazilians to carry out part of their undergraduate studies abroad.
