• [2023.04.08] - With the support of other organizing committee members in MdB, I began to develop a website for Brazilian foreigners in France called "Wiki MdB: o guia online". It is a website in a format similar to a Wiki.  The goal of this website is to become a general online platform with administrative instructions for Brazilian students and researchers that have recently arrived in France. It will have step-by-step instructions about how to solve common French bureaucratic procedures. If you are curious, you can already access it at:  https://sites.google.com/view/wikimdb (under construction!).
