Disclaimer & comment rulesBrasil has long had to handle Mercosur etc relations with Paraguay, so Dilma should feel quite at home working with the poor man of the European Union.

Seriously, I have been pushing for this for years. If it can't be done through the trading blocs, bi-lateral trading arrangements are the way forward - however much it takes to unpick it when proper trading bloc agreements resume.
I would REALLY like to see the Russell Group of British universities and Oxbridge offering huge reciprocality with the leading Brasilian universities - with the UK discounting HE budgets for this as part of an overall trade package.
Typical current projects (eg) via ESRC:
•ESRC- Brazil-India Pathfinder Research Projects
This call is aimed at building and strengthening research networks joining social scientists in Brazil and India with UK counterparts by fostering research collaboration and knowledge around the secondary analysis of existing microdata resources.
Through this initiative the ESRC is seeking to fund eight to ten research projects per country which will address research questions under one, or more, of the following indicative themes:
•Economic Restructuring;
•Higher Education;
•Social Equality.
The ESRC will also consider proposals addressing other areas that might be of mutual interest to UK, Brazil and India.
Applications are invited for bilateral pathfinder projects, i.e. UK-Brazilian, UK-Indian or trilateral projects, i.e. projects involving all three countries.
lol,

Note: UK, one of the poor man of the European Union. (Compare to other western European nations)
UK poor man of the EU? Hmmm would have to work that one out, considering we have bailed out a number of those Euro zone countries.
