    This article discusses the Science without Borders (Ciência sem Fronteiras) program, a student exchange program between Brazil and other countries, which has been implemented by the Brazilian government as an education public policy. This is a scholarship program funded by "the Brazilian government, aiming to send 101,000 Brazilian students abroad to take part in undergraduate sandwich courses and PhD sandwich programs, as well as doctors, to study in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and creative industry in top universities worldwide" (Brazil/2012). Currently, there are many Brazilian students in Europe and the USA. The program also intends to attract foreign researchers who are interested in working in Brazil. The estimated cost of the program is BRL$ 3.2 billion (USD 1.6 billion) (Castro et al., 2012). The exchange program aims to sow the seeds of what could revolutionize the R&D system, since Brazilian students and researchers will be exposed to an environment of high competitiveness and entrepreneurship (Brazil/2012). This research draws on quantitative data (MEC, 2012) and qualitative analysis. It investigates the relationship between the production of knowledge and internationalization as well as the possible impacts for Brazil of a greater inclusion, with competence and competitiveness, into a globalized world. This study also carries out a critical analysis. Brazil needs to internationalize its universities and the Science without Borders program may bring potential contributions on the topic.
