|
Description |
Since 2000, Iracambi has been host to over 500 researchers and volunteers hailing from universities and institutions in nearly 40 countries. Iracambi is experienced in working with universities in order to meet the requirements of providing academic credit, which vary based on the institution. Through our partnership with Viçosa University, we have access to professors, researchers, students, and other resources in a variety of fields. Groups of students should be accompanied by a professor, tutor, or other university chaperone who will work with Iracambi staff. The average stay for a group is from 5 – 7 days: we can arrange longer visits, too, if that is what you need. Before the trip, in coordination with the group leader, we can design a program to meet your needs. If additional expertise or assistance is required, we can arrange for this from local experts, on-site researchers, or the nearby Federal University of Viçosa. Available Opportunities Iracambi has a wide range of research and volunteer opportunities, listed below. Whether students are looking for experience with tropical botany or the opportunity to help a community improve its standard of living, we are able to accommodate their needs.
