Groups will be formed in the each of the main focus areas of this workshop and challenged to design a collaborative project based on their complementary expertise and resources.
Based on the topics given, working groups will be formed in the following four areas (rooms):

(1) Energy (Ministro João Alberto Lins de Barros Auditorium ).
(2) Environment ( 5th Floor Auditorium, CBPF main building)
(3) Biotechnology and Health ( 2nd Floor Auditorium, CBPF main building).
(4) Nanomaterials/nanofabrication and devices (Oliveira Castro Meeting Romm, CBPF main building).

Their projects will integrate the following cross-cutting elements: Education; Facilities; Computation; and Mobility/research exchanges.
