Brazilian Division of the IADR why become a member?
As you are well aware of, the International Association for Dental Research (IADR) is the primary research organisation in Dental Medicine. The SBPqO Brazilian Society for Dental Research is IADR's Brazilian Division and is part of the Latin-American Federation which includes Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela.
Through its Divisions, the IADR offers a set of opportunities for dental researchers in these countries: building networks with other researchers; developing contacts in a close geographical environment; attending annual meetings with the possibility of following present and future activities in all fields of dental research; presenting research data in the form of abstracts, talks or posters; interacting with researchers form other fields, benefiting from various stipends provided to young researchers; being eligible for awards and participating in research competitions.
The Latin-American Federation of the IADR, of which the Brazilian Division is a member, has recently been founded to allow the organization of larger Latin-American meetings on a triannual basis.
While the IADR at large basically offers similar opportunities, the Federation has the distinct advantage of a geographically more concise outline, allowing less travelling, easier interaction with colleagues due to the size of the annual congress, and the delivering of awards and stipends limited to IADR members.
Joining the Brazilian Division of the IADR will allow you to profit on all these areas.
