With a goal of discussing governance in INCTs and fostering bonds of scientific and technological cooperation in research, human resources qualification, and scientific promotion, INCT-INOFAR became a member of the so-called I5+, made up of the Complex and Functional Materials INCT, the Continent-Ocean Transference of Materials INCT, the Science and Technology of the Biorational Control of Insects and Pest INCT, and the Energy and Environment INCT.

The first meeting of the I5+ took place in Bahia, in November 2009, and the second one, in Natal/RN, on July 27, 2009, during the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Society for the Progress of Science (SBPC).

Triad Partnership

On December 3 and 4, 2009, in Rio de Janeiro, an Integration Panel between the INCT (INOFAR) of Drugs and Medicines, the Structural Biology and Bioimaging INCT (INBEB) and the Structural Biology and Medicinal Chemistry in Infectious Diseases (INBEQMed) took place. At the event, scientists from the three INCTs presented research projects, trying to identify academic-scientific meeting points for the establishment of future partnerships.
