Illinois-Insper Partnership

International Collaboration on Education and Research

Insper and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign , through the Grainger College of Engineering and the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science, developed a partnership in 2021 to support research and educational collaborations between the two institutions.

Collaborations include joint research projects with co-PIs from Insper and Illinois, curriculum development in computing and data science, sabbatical experiences for Insper faculty, postdoc experiences for Future Insper Faculty, fellowships for PhD students and professional master’s students, and summer research internships for Insper undergraduates.

 

Insper Institute of Education and Research

The Insper Instituto De Ensino E Pesquisa (Insper Institute of Education and Research) is an independent, non-profit institution focused on teaching excellence and research in the fields of business, economics, law, engineering, computer science, public policy, and communications. Insper offers undergraduate, graduate, and executive education programs.

Faculty and Student Exchanges

12 Insper faculty have spent semester-long sabbatical experiences at Illinois, engaging in collaborations with Illinois faculty on research and education.

Master’s Fellowships are  supporting select students completing an undergraduate degree at Insper as they continue to Illinois for a professional Master of Computer Science (MCS) degree.

For undergraduate research internships, Insper undergraduate students are participating in the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program and spend ten weeks on the Illinois campus working with research projects and faculty. Students have presented present an end of program research symposium, and participate in weekly seminars covering research and presentation skills, graduate studies, and professional development, and be encouraged to consider Illinois for graduate studies.
