Brazil-Germany Dialogue in Rio de Janeiro: Transatlantic cooperation and strategic partnership

At the “Brazil-Germany Dialogue” conference, experts discussed global changes and the strategic partnership between Brazil and Germany.

On 9 March 2026, the conference “Brazil-Germany Dialogue: Building the Transatlantic Future” brought together representatives from the worlds of politics, academia, business and the media at the Museu do Amanhã in Rio de Janeiro to discuss the future of relations between Brazil and Germany. Our event addressed key issues of international cooperation at a time of profound geopolitical change. The focus was on the role of both countries in a changing international order, prospects for economic cooperation, and the importance of transatlantic dialogue for democracy, stable partnerships and rules-based international cooperation. The conference was organised by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Brazil, with the support of the Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI), the Instituto de Desenvolvimento e Gestão (IDG), the Museu do Amanhã, and the City of Rio de Janeiro.

Beyond the tipping Point

XXII Forte International Security Conference

In its 22nd edition, the Forte International Security Conference embarked on new paths. In light of the increasingly fragile global security architecture, the conference deliberately placed its focus this year on the complex interplay between security and the environment. While climate change has receded into the background in recent years due to more immediate threats such as Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the boundaries between a narrow and a broader concept of security are becoming ever more blurred. The conference’s prevailing message was clear: we are simultaneously facing multiple tipping points.

Capacitating female pre-candidates for the 2024 elections

Fostering female representation

In order to boost female participation in politics, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Brazil, in partnership with the Teonônio Vilela Institute and the PSDB Women's secretariat, held a course for PSDB pre-candidates - 2024 elections. After all, in terms of international rankings on women's political participation, regardless of the methodology used, Brazil ranks very poorly and worse than many countries that are considered harmful environments for women and girls. When we analyze this world and Brazilian scenario, we realize that very few Brazilian women have managed to reach and lead relevant committees such as the Constitution and Justice, Budget, Finance and none have become president of the Senate or the Chamber of Deputies. At municipal level, with elections taking place next October, women represent only 18% of politicians.
