On May 02, 2016, all NoPa2 (Novas Parcerias, fase 2) supported projects joined in a workshop in Brasília, hosted by CAPES, the Brazilian Federal Agency for the Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education. The first project results from Phase 1 of EcoRespira-Amazon was presented by Jörg Matschullat and Laura Medeiros Braga. We are proud to have made significant progress already and eagerly look forward to the second campaign in July.
