From 6 and 10 April, Tales Tomaz visited the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil as part of an Erasmus+ agreement with the University of Salzburg.

During his stay, Tales Tomaz gave lectures on federated social media and platform policy, contributing to academic exchange and strengthening cooperation between the two institutions. The visit also involved UNICAMP professors Diego Vicentin, Marta Kanashiro, and Rafael Evangelista.

The trip also included a lecture at FATEC Mogi Mirim, where Tomaz spoke about research opportunities between Brazil and Europe. Organised by Heber Sales, Director of Innovation and Economic Development of the city of Mogi Mirim, the event brought together technical students, local political authorities, and industry representatives, offering a valuable setting for discussion on international academic collaboration and future partnerships.

The visit highlights the Department of Communication Studies’ growing international links with Brazilian partner institutions and points to promising opportunities for further exchange in teaching and research.
