On the 22nd November 2018, INCOBRA and ENRICH in Brazil organised an info-session of the EU-BR STI cooperation opportunities in the aerospace setcor. The info-session took place within the framework of the 8th EBN TechCamp, organised in partnership with ESA/ESTEC (Noordwijk, The Netherlands), on 22-23 November 2018 (http://ebntechcamp.eu/home). 
The session moderated by Chiara Davalli (EBN) gave to the participants an overview of the aerospace sector in Brazil, represented by selected representatives of the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster and PqTEC.

PqTEC is hosting the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster in its park and has been recently accredited as ENRICH in Brazil Soft Landing Hub, meaning  it can offer internationalization services to European R&D&I actors interested in exploring this market/sector).

The session also highlighted available opportunities under Horizon 2020 (namely the SU-SPACE-22-SEC-2019  Space Weather, and the DT-SPACE-06-EO-2019 International Cooperation Copernicus – Designing EO downstream applications with international partners), and Vittorio Cannas, from SpaceEarth Technology company,  presented the concrete EU-BR cooperation experience of the PEARL Network, one of the 5 bilateral cooperation networks supported by INCOBRA.
