Nine Mechanical Engineering students and one Bioprocess and Biotechnology student from UFPR have been selected for academic mobility programs in France during the 2026/2027 academic year.
The students were selected through three different mobility programs. Four students will join the French Universities of Technology (UT) Network, while six students will study at institutions of the INSA Group. Among the INSA participants, two students were awarded the prestigious Eiffel Excellence Scholarship, funded by the French government, and three were selected through the CAPES/BRAFITEC program.
