Secretaria de Relações Internacionais | Office of International Relations

The Office of International Relations (SINTER) and the Institute for Studies on China (ICHIN) announce the final results of Call 1/2025/SINTER-ICHIN, which aimed to pre-select up to three UFSC students for the 2025 Shanghai Summer School.

Due to the high number of applicants received – 47 students in total, including 9 undergraduate students for the reserved place based on socioeconomic criteria, 26 undergraduates students in the general category, and 12 graduate students in the general category –  SINTER and ICHIN successfully negotiated an additional place in the general category with the host institution.

As specified in the Call, the place reserved for students with a socioeconomic registration approved by PRAE/UFSC includes round-trip international airfare. This cost will be jointly covered by SINTER and the School of Technology (CTC). The remaining selected students will be responsible for purchasing their own airline tickets.

• Fernanda Paiva de Morais – Electrical Engineering (undergraduate)

Places 2, 3 and 4 – General category

• Lucas Ferreira da Rosa – Electrical Engineering (undergraduate)
• Guilherme Fidelis Peixer – Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering (graduate)
• Guilherme Breda Fatalla – Materials Engineering (undergraduate)

SINTER and ICHIN will forward the details of the pre-selected students to the Shanghai University of Electric Power (SUEP) to proceed with the next steps for participation in the Summer School.

The student selected for the reserved place will be contacted by SINTER regarding the procedures to receive the financial support.
