Corresponding Member

Who can apply?

Brazilians residing abroad with outstanding activity in academic, literary, or cultural circles, whose output and trajectory demonstrate merit and adherence to ABHL’s mission.

What is the estimated review time?

It varies according to the volume of applications and documentary complexity. Under normal conditions, the analysis usually takes between 3 and 10 business days.

Which materials strengthen the consistency of an application?

A well-organized résumé, verifiable proof, portfolio/works/publications, official links, awards (if any), and clear, coherent presentations of the trajectory and intellectual purpose.

Is there a fixed deadline to apply?

Applications are structured by processes/editions according to ABHL’s organization. When there are specific deadlines, they will be stated in the current process.

How does the evaluation work?

There is document screening and merit analysis, conducted by the competent bodies, notably the Evaluation Committee, considering quality, relevance, coherence, and institutional alignment.

What is evaluated?

Résumé, bibliographic/artistic/scientific output, consistency and relevance of the trajectory, institutional alignment, and, in the Corresponding category, the ability to act as a cultural bridge and to represent Brazilian culture in the country of residence.

Can I apply even without formal academic degrees (bachelor’s, master’s, doctorate)?

ABHL values excellence and verifiable output. Academic degrees may strengthen an application, but they are not the only element: consistency, quality, ethics, impact, and intellectual/cultural contribution are also assessed.

What happens if my application is not approved?

You may be advised to reapply at another time, with more complete documentation or more consolidated output, as appropriate.

Do I need to officially “represent” ABHL in my country?
It is not a requirement. Any international collaborations and initiatives take place according to opportunities, the member’s profile, and availability.

Which themes and areas have a place within ABHL?

ABHL is organized into 18 Academic Sections covering language, memory, transcendence, aesthetics, education, health, sciences, technology, governance, economics, communication, community action, and entrepreneurship, among others.
