What is it?
The SPU Connect will follow a workshop format where Brazilian University representatives will have tables and international university representatives will have individual pre-arranged meetings of 25 min slots.
The main idea is to give everyone the opportunity to explore partnership and collaborative opportunities.
Pre-arranged meetings
Four weeks prior to the event, FPP EDU Media will provide all participants access to a platform where they will be able to schedule meetings for the event. This will maximize the time of all attendees and allow them to target the best potential partners.
Who should attend
Admissions or marketing representatives, international recruiters, those involved in institutional international relations
Why should you attend
SPU Connect will provide a unique opportunity to meet with universities from all over Brazil, in one day and in one place.
All participants will be able to pre-arrange one-to-one meetings with other institutions. Brazilian university representatives will have tables and the international universities representatives will have a schedule with individual meetings of 25 minutes each. There will be a break of 5 minutes in between the meetings to ensure the full 25 minutes is utilized. There are also 30-minute refreshment breaks in the morning and afternoon.
