The event will feature lectures and technical sessions conducted in English, offering an excellent opportunity for Brazilian researchers to engage with distinguished national and international experts and discuss recent scientific and technological advances.

In addition to the conference, we invite you to explore Vitória, one of Brazil’s most scenic coastal cities. The capital of the state of Espírito Santo, Vitória was founded by the Portuguese in 1551. The city is situated on a river-marine island, surrounded by the Bay of Vitória and 34 other islands, with a portion of the municipality located on the mainland. Vitória boasts the 5th highest Human Development Index (HDI) among all Brazilian municipalities and was ranked by the UN as the second-best city to live in Brazil in 2015. In a 2017 survey, it ranked as the third-best Brazilian capital. The city enjoys a tropical climate, with an average temperature of 27°C in March.
