Serrapilheira Institute and Arthur Bernardes Foundation
Survey on the Social Profile of Scientists in the Exact Sciences in Brazil, Specifically in the Natural Sciences (Biology, Geosciences, Physics, Chemistry); Computer Science and Mathematics. The research aims to define the dominant social profiles in Brazilian sciences in terms of class, race, and gender, providing a database for further analyses of the academic community and potential public and private policy managers. It is expected that this will not only provide a diagnosis of diversity (or the lack thereof) in the Brazilian exact sciences but also make inputs available for potential policies to mitigate these inequalities.
