Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Brazil

The Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) is an independent, non-profit German political foundation which acts nationally and internationally for peace, justice and freedom. Our main mission is to defend democracy and promote the social market economy based on the values of Christian democracy. In addition, we seek to strengthen transatlantic relations through international cooperation, and to this end we have more than 107 offices worldwide. We focus our work on key themes such as innovation, representation and participation, and security.

We have been operating in Brazil since 1969 and we concentrate our activities on four thematic topics: Political Education, promoting citizens’ participation in politics; Rule of Law and Public Policies, which trains multipliers on themes such as Human Rights and Democracy; Sustainable Development and Decentralisation, where we promote meetings with local leaders and mandate holders in order to promote good governance and sustainability; and Global Challenges, where we stimulate relations not only between Europe and Latin America, but also between Brazil and Germany, under the prism of cooperation and international relations.

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 generate knowledge, 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 producing and disseminating accessible, high-quality knowledge, engaging diverse audiences, and expanding understanding of the challenges and opportunities surrounding Brazil’s international engagement.
