On June 5, 2024, the University of Georgia (USA) and Federal University of Pará (Brazil) formalized an International Cooperation Agreement. The agreement, signed by UFPA Provost (Reitor) Emmanuel Zagury Tourinho and UGA Associate Provost for Global Engagement Martin Kagel, reinforces inter-institutional linkages for academic, scientific, and cultural collaboration.
Strengthening ties between UGA and UFPA reflect in part the ongoing cooperation between UGA and UFPA faculty and students through the Brazil Natural Resource Governance Initiative, and this new UGA-UFPA International Cooperation Agreement provides further scaffolding for BNRGI collaborations.
