Center for Brazilian and Global Affairs (CEBRAGA)

The Center for Brazilian and Global Affairs (CEBRAGA) is an interdisciplinary hub for research, teaching, and public engagement that uses Brazil as a lens to understand global challenges. From climate change and food security to citizenship, governance, and cultural diversity, Brazil stands at the crossroads of some of the most pressing debates shaping our world today. Building on over 40 years of Brazilian Studies at Aarhus University, CEBRAGA brings together scholars across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to foster collaboration and innovation. The Center enhances the visibility of Brazil-related research, strengthens partnerships with public and private stakeholders, and develops new models of outreach and education.
