RESUMO
The Science without Borders (SwB) program was created in 2011 aiming to internationalizing education in Brazil and providing highly qualified training abroad. However, in 2015, it ended the offer of scholarships for undergraduates, which allowed several opportunities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the profile of Dental undergraduate students who participated in the SwB program and their perceptions about this experience. This is an evaluative research developed with students who participated in SwB in the sandwich modality, in which the student continues being enrolled in his university of origin, while studying for period in another institution abroad. Semi structured questionnaire was developed using the GoogleDocs® digital platform, addressing the sociodemographic and academic profile of participants and aspects related to the organization and operation of the program. From 745 former SwB Dental students, 109 (14.6%) answered the questionnaire. Most of them were female (65.1%), from public institutions (89%), located in the Northeast (34.9%) and Southeast (26.6%), with proficiency in English (82.6%), and intention to become a researcher (51.4%). The fellows indicated that the program's objectives were partially fulfilled (59.63%). They considered themselves more qualified, professionally, due to the sandwich course offered by SwB. However, they pointed out several

limitations:

lack of organization of development institutions, use of disciplines and control and inspection mechanisms. It was possible to outline the profile of program participants, as well as to characterize the functioning of SwB for Dental students, according to their perceptions (AU).
ABSTRACT
O programa Ciência sem Fronteiras (CsF) foi criado em 2011 com o objetivo de internacionalizar a educação no Brasil e prover treinamento altamente qualificado no exterior. Entretanto, em 2015, encerrou a oferta de bolsas de estudo para alunos de graduação, que permitiam diversas oportunidades. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil de graduandos de Odontologia que participaram do programa CsF e suas percepções sobre essa experiência. Tratase de uma pesquisa avaliativa desenvolvida com estudantes que participaram do CsF na modalidade sanduíche, em que o estudante continua matriculado em sua universidade de origem enquanto estuda por período em outra instituição no exterior. Um questionário semiestruturado foi desenvolvido utilizando a plataforma digital GoogleDocs®, abordando o perfil sociodemográfico e acadêmico dos participantes e aspectos relacionados à organização e ao funcionamento do programa. Dos 745 estudantes de Odontologia participantes do CsF, 109 (14,6%) responderam ao questionário. A maioria era do sexo feminino (65,1%), oriundos de instituições públicas (89%), localizadas no Nordeste (34,9%) e Sudeste (26,6%), com proficiência em inglês (82,6%) e intenção de se tornar pesquisador (51,4%). Os bolsistas indicaram que os objetivos do programa foram parcialmente cumpridos (59,63%). Consideraram-se mais qualificados, profissionalmente, devido à graduação sanduíche oferecida pelo CsF. No entanto, apontaram várias limitações a falta de organização das instituições de fomento, de aproveitamento de disciplinas e de mecanismos de controle e inspeção. Foi possível traçar o perfil dos participantes do programa, bem como caracterizar o funcionamento do CsF para os estudantes de Odontologia, de acordo com suas percepções (AU).
