This project aims to analyse gender inequalities in the internationalisation of scientific production in Brazil and Portugal. Both countries have globally stood out for advancing women's participation in science. However, studies show that various types of inequalities can persist in academia even in environments with progress, such as gender segregation among knowledge areas, characterized in the literature as horizontal concentration, or the asymmetric distribution of positions of power, known as vertical concentration. The main questions that guide this investigation are: Are there gender patterns in professional trajectories and research communication choices? What asymmetries can we identify in the internationalisation trends and the impact of science produced in these countries? We explore the hypothesis that women achieve less visibility than men abroad because they are affected by the gender division of scientific work, which places them in less prestigious themes and activities in the field. We propose conducting case studies of Brazilian and Portuguese scientific communities using quantitative and qualitative approaches, with primary and secondary data sources and programming packages. The first stage of the research consists of developing large databases with demographic surveys of the scientific populations. We also collect information on the publication records of researchers and bibliometric indicators. Next, we select disciplines to delve into specific trajectories, adopting prosopography as a method. It is worth noting that in the case of Brazil, this research benefits from already systematized work accumulated and disseminated on platforms such as the "Atlas Digital das Ciências Sociais" and the GEMAA webpage, "Mulheres na ciência brasileira". The choice of countries is also justified because they both suffer jointly from low circulation abroad of their research and represent the Portuguese language in their continents. Although the two countries have long-standing historical ties and currently stand out for their migratory flows, with the Brazilian community being the largest among migrants in Portugal, we consider that they have significant differences, like their variations in geographic and population dimensions. As expected results, we aim to (1) make open databases available for use by the academic community or public managers; (2) provide a map of gender hierarchies in the internationalization of scientific production in two Portuguese-speaking countries, leading not only to a better understanding of national realities with attention to horizontal and vertical inequalities but also to the suggestion of possible cooperation policies for the improvement of the international visibility of women scientists.
