FAPESP and the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science (MPG), Germany, announce the result of the second call for proposals issued under the agreement between the institutions.

The opportunity aims to establish independent Tandem Research Groups (TRG) associated to universities or research institutes in the State of São Paulo, in strong collaboration with researchers from Max Planck Institutes.

The call for proposals was opened to young highly qualified investigators of any nationality, with at least two years of very well succeeded postdoctoral experience (previous or ongoing) in internationally competitive research groups outside Brazil.

The call for proposals is available at www.fapesp.br/en/11812.
