Brazil: PhD Mobility Ebbs and Flows, But Most Graduates Return
According to a recent article in University World News, there is a "constant flow of Brazilians going to get their degrees abroad, mostly with fellowships from national agencies. In the early 1990s, Brazilian agencies used to support about 2,000 doctoral students a year abroad. As the number of doctoral programmes in the country increased, the number of doctoral fellowships for study abroad went down, but other kinds of fellowships were introduced. "
"In contrast to India, China and, in Latin America, Mexico and Argentina, Brazil does not suffer from a steady outflow of educated citizens."
