International Initiatives

The Duke Brazil Initiative (DBI) 

The DBI intends to develop deeper connections with Brazil through faculty and student research exchanges, university and industry conferences, and by bringing leading Brazilian scholars, public officials and artists to Duke. DBI projects will focus on Energy, Environment, Health, and Human Development in its fullest sense (art and music, religion, sports, education, social movements, politics and governance). 

The DBI is co-sponsored by the Office of Global Strategies and Programs and the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies.
