During the meeting, both institutions introduced themselves and presented the research and innovation systems in Portugal and the State of Paraná. Possible forms of collaboration were also discussed, as well as areas of mutual interest, considering the historical ties between the two countries and the strong cooperation that already exists between Brazilian and Portuguese scientists.
