FGV's Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration (EBAPE) has just signed a cooperation agreement with Krannert School of Business - a business school at one of the leading research institutes in the United States, Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana).  The partnership will allow undergraduate and master's students to participate in exchange programs, with the formulation of modules with visiting professors from both schools, as well as the joint development of research projects. Purdue is also part of the International Master in Management (IMM) offered by EBAPE.  For EBAPE's International Relations manager, Mônica Balanda, the agreement will enable the development of international activities other than the traditional exchange programs, such as short term courses with specific themes, and will benefit a greater number of students at the school.
