Professors in charge: Eurydice Figueiredo (UFF), Zilá Bernd (UFRGS), Bernard Andrès (UQAM)

In 2011, Elène Cliche and Rachel Bouvet, both Professors from UQAM visited UFF.

Professor Elène Cliche attended the Colloquium “ Inhabiting and represening the distance between Canadian and Brazilian literary texts”, organized by Professors Maria Bernadette Velloso Porto and Arnaldo Viana, and the text she presented will be published in a book edited by the two Brazilians with material selected from the event. The book is under production. During that period, Professor Matildes Demétrio visited the Canadian university, and there she taught an undergraduate course on Brazilian literature. Collaboration with the Canadians has been one of long duration (the bilateral agreement is 27 years old) and has generated many publications and symposia held over those years.

In addition to the bilateral agreement of UQAM with UFF, the two universities are connected by a larger network, comprised of over 10 Brazilian universities, called BRACERB Network, whose spearhead in Montreal is CERB (Centre d’Études et de Recherches sur le Brésil). Professor Eurydice is also UFF coordinator of this multilateral agreement.
