In Brazilian universities, the relationship between research supervisors and their students is typically more formal than in some Anglo-Saxon contexts. Research supervisors (orientadores) hold significant academic authority and are responsible not only for project direction but also for evaluating student progress and defending the quality of research. In Portugal, the term 'investigação' is preferred over 'pesquisa' when referring to research contexts.
