The internationalization of science and technology (S&T) has been a subject of extreme relevance and relevance in the contemporary context. This text aims to produce reflective knowledge about this process of internationalization of research groups and national scientific production, focusing on bioenergy research groups. We propose to investigate the conflicts, the interests that mobilize the constitution of the networks. Our methodology is based on qualitative data collection, using semi-structured interviews guided by a basic script. The interviewees were selected from individual and collective involvement with international research networks in the area of energy. Besides the interviews projects and research reports made available by the groups and their scientific production available on platforms were analyzed. We found a cleavage between national and international scientific activities, with distinct levels of validation and scientific recognition of researchers at both poles, as well as an internal process of intellectual extroversion and not only of cognitive and scientific imposition between nations.
