Abstract

This plan of activities refers to a six-month scientific initiation grant as part of the FAPESP/ANR Thematic Project: Co-Polis. Through extension research and participatory action and using a comparison between France and Brazil, the project aims to increase understanding of cooperative projects with urban occupations. As a result, the fellow will create activities on two main fronts: i) analysis of the processes followed over the last few years of the project, ii) systematization and distribution of the research results. It is the fellow's duty to work with the project team to study and share the reflections and knowledge acquired in the chosen instances, contributing on the one hand to the consolidation of the comparative research process, and on the other to the deepening of the fellow's research and extension activities. The fellow will also assist the technical training fellows and principal researchers in completing the project. (AU)
