KAS

Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Brazil

The Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) is an independent, non-profit German political foundation that operates nationally and internationally in favor of peace, justice, and freedom. Our main mission is the defense of democracy and the promotion of the Social Market Economy, based on the values of Christian democracy. In addition, we seek to strengthen transatlantic relations through international cooperation and, for this purpose, we maintain more than 107 offices around the world. Our work is guided by key themes such as Innovation, Representation and Participation, and Security.

KAS has been active in Brazil since 1969 and concentrates its activities on four thematic areas: Political Education, promoting citizens' participation in politics; Rule of Law and Public Policies, focused on training multipliers in topics such as Human Rights and Democracy; Sustainable Development and Decentralization, through the promotion of meetings between local leaders and political representatives with a focus on good governance and sustainability; and Global Challenges, fostering relations between Europe and Latin America, as well as between Brazil and Germany, from the perspectives of international cooperation and international relations.

CEBRI

Brazilian Center for International Relations

Founded in 1998 by a group of diplomats, business leaders, intellectuals, and former ministers, the Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI) was established to create Brazil's first think tank focused on international affairs. Driven by the need to enhance public debate and strengthen Brazil's presence on the global stage, its founders created the institution to foster dialogue, and contribute to the formulation of public policies aimed at national development.

Over the course of nearly three decades, CEBRI has consolidated itself as a hub for strategic, pluralistic, and independent debates on international issues relevant to Brazil, contributing to the development of sustainable, innovative, and inclusive public policies. CEBRI is committed to disseminating accessible, high-quality knowledge, engaging diverse audiences, and expanding understanding of the challenges and opportunities surrounding Brazil's international engagement.

Delegation of the European Union to Brazil

The Delegation of the European Union to Brazil promotes EU values and policies and represents the EU and its citizens in Brazil. Established in 1984, is a fully-fledged diplomatic mission and works closely with the diplomatic missions of the EU Member States in Brazil.

By engaging with political actors, the media, academia, business, and civil society, it raises awareness of EU issues and interests and promotes the importance of the EU-Brazil bilateral relations among the Brazilian public. The EU Delegation promotes the implementation of the EU-Brazil Strategic Partnership and works to strengthen political and economic/trade relations with our Brazilian partners. The EU Delegation also conducts an active public diplomacy and information service, aimed at informing Brazilians about current developments in the European Union and raising awareness of EU interests and concerns. The EU's wide-ranging assistance programmes and sectoral cooperation in Brazil cover fields, such as the environment, climate change, human rights, science & technology, and research & innovation.
