30. BRICS Network University – Academic exchange – Collaborative researches – Common programs (specially for graduation) Criticism: BRICS lacks identity – The best way of creating identity is through: Exchange of young students Collective researches 30

31. BRICS Network University My proposal for the provision of funds: – The New Development Bank is being created and it will have US$ 100 billion in reserves – The NDB could give every year a small percentage (e.g. 1% or 5%) of its surpluses to finance: i) academic exchanges; and ii) collaborative researches in the framework of the BRICS Network University. 31

32. Proposal for the BRICS NU Financing investments in infrastructure (the main purpose of the NDB) may not be disconnected to the provision of funds to education and researches. They must be seen rather as complementary tasks in the quest of economic development. It would not imply the reduction of the bank’s reserves, but only a distribution of its surpluses. 32

33. A Socratic result: the more we have dialogues with universities beyond the conventional agreements, the more we will be aware that we know nothing It is the better way to keep learning, teaching, creating collective knowledge 33
