Objectives 1- Projects - short duration, 1 to 6 months, since studies which last much longer tend to impair the development of a new centre; 2- Low cost projects in order to avoid financial considerations limiting research activity; 3- Motivate researchers, teachers and students from different area (multidisciplinary research Centre); 4- Publish high quality research papers in scientific journals. 5- Act as a link between Brazil and universities and institutions in other countries by the exchange of investigators, students, equipment and joint fundings of collaborative projects; 6- Contribute to Space Life Sciences with clear scientific, technological social and economic benefits for society.
