Lead institution:
FAPESP – Brazil
The FAPESP Program for the South Atlantic Ocean and Antarctic Sciences (PROASA) will advance knowledge about the South Atlantic and Antarctica with applications to confront planetary crises and promote sustainable development.
PROASA will expand, diversify, and qualify the leading role of the state of São Paulo and, therefore, Brazil in the scientific and sustainability agenda of the Ocean, promoting transformational scientific, technological, and innovation approaches on relevant and emerging themes, regionally and globally. PROASA will play a key role in facilitating a process of establishing and strengthening partnerships and synergies to amplify and qualify the science, technology, and innovation system, aiming to increase the local protagonism and competitiveness on the international Ocean and Antarctica agendas and in the transition to sustainability and promotion of environmental and social justice.
