For postdoctoral fellows from all over Brazil.
Inspired by the experience of the “São Paulo School of Advanced Science” program (espca.fapesp.br) and the “Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings” (www.lindau-nobel.org), FAPESP will hold an in-person event called “FAPESP Interdisciplinary School 2024: Exact and Natural Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine”, from December 8 to 12, 2024. The goal is to offer postdoctoral fellows from all over Brazil, working in the aforementioned areas of knowledge, the opportunity to:
Knowledge
Learn about the research conducted by scientific leaders from Brazil and abroad in various fields of knowledge.
Journeys
Learn about their academic journeys to better understand how their research lines were established and what the major challenges are in their fields of knowledge.
Activities
Participate in conferences and informal meetings with invited speakers, and present your work in the form of posters to a group of experts in your field and related areas.
Interactions
Engage with national and international researchers to establish lasting professional connections.

Visit to the National Synchrotron Light Laboratory, LNLS
The National Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) is part of the National Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), in Campinas (SP), and is responsible for the operation of Sirius, the largest and most complex scientific infrastructure ever built in the country and one of the most advanced synchrotron light sources in the world.
This state-of-the-art laboratory allows investigation of the composition and structure of matter in its most varied forms, opening up new research perspectives in areas such as materials science, nanotechnology, biotechnology, environmental sciences and many others.

Participants from both Schools will take a guided tour of the Synchrotron Laboratory on Tuesday, December 10, 2024.
Joint activity with the Fapesp School of Exact and Natural Sciences, Engineering and Medicine and of Humanities, Social Sciences and Arts
The chosen location for hosting the FAPESP Interdisciplinary School 2024 is the Hotel Dona Carolina in Itatiba, São Paulo.
A farm with over 100 years of history to tell. Built in 1872 by Dona Carolina and her husband, José Alves Cardoso, the Jaboticabal Farm was an important coffee producer.
In 1919, after Dona Carolina passed away, the farm took on the name by which it is known today, in honor of its owner.
In 1993, Dona Carolina’s descendants, admirers of the region’s exuberant nature, decided to share the farm’s charms with the public by transforming it into a historic hotel.
Thus, the entire farm was restored and restructured to provide, with all the style and comfort, an exceptional structure and a unique experience to its guests.
It is in this authentic Brazilian colonial complex, framed by the Atlantic Forest, that guests can enjoy incredible days in a farm hotel, near São Paulo, with personalized service and plenty of comfort.
