Known worldwide for its iconic landscapes, infectious energy, and rich cultural life, Rio de Janeiro is a unique blend of natural beauty and urban vibrancy. From the world-famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema to the towering peaks of Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer, the city offers unforgettable scenery and experiences.
Often called the “Marvelous City” (Cidade Maravilhosa), Rio de Janeiro is known the world over for its dramatic landscapes, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality. Samba, carnival, football, and world-famous beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema are part of its international identity — and for good reason. These traditions offer a glimpse into Rio's energy, creativity, and community spirit. Rio is also home to bossa nova, samba, carnival, football and welcoming people. But there’s much more to Rio.
The city is also a hub of innovation, science, and activism. It's home to top universities, pioneering public health institutions, and dynamic cultural and social movements that shape Brazil’s national discourse. In Rio, artistic expression and civic engagement often go hand in hand — from street art to grassroots environmental initiatives.
Rio's geography reflects its complexity: forest-covered hills, colonial churches, modernist architecture, and urban beaches coexist in striking proximity. Its neighborhoods are as diverse as its people — each with its own rhythms, histories, and perspectives. With its mix of nature, historic neighborhoods, colonial architecture, and modern urban developments, Rio is a city where tradition and transformation coexist.
For international visitors, Rio offers not only beauty and entertainment, but also opportunities for reflection, exchange, and connection. The conference will take place in the southern zone of Rio, near the beachside neighborhoods that offer excellent infrastructure, public transport, and close proximity to cultural landmarks.
