摘要:This study examined the inter-institutional cooperation through the work of researchers’ visitors of post-graduate studies and research institutes. Given the need to select cases where the type of interaction, which was the object of study, were taking place, we took as basis the Notice of Financial Assistance released by the Visiting Scholar Foundation Araucaria Support Scientific and Technological Development of Paraná. It was observed that the predominant mechanism for cooperation was formalized with a defined goal, and there were several motivations for cooperation and highlighted for selection of the visiting researcher. Likewise, many facilitators were appointed and hindering, and most of these were related to factors external to the research, for example, issues and problems of bureaucratic infrastructure of recipient institutions. The activities of visiting researchers involved both research and development, such as teaching and writing reports and articles. The observed contributions, we can highlight the expansion of the contact network of teachers: the new perspectives of teaching the students had contact, the establishment of formal agreements for cooperation, a schedule of upcoming exchanges of teachers and students, the spread the knowledge generated in research through publications, the consolidation of post-graduate programs are less than the potential possibilities of patenting arising from some projects and, contributions to local communities where some projects have been developed. Finally, an inter-institutional cooperation model is proposed comprising the steps of the process investigated.
