About Campinas: Host City

Campinas, located in the state of São Paulo, played a pivotal role in Brazil’s coffee cycle from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries, emerging as a major coffee-producing centre that significantly boosted the national economy. This period also fostered a rich cultural environment, nurturing talents such as opera composer Carlos Gomes, whose work earned international acclaim.



In modern times, Campinas has transformed into a vital hub for technology and innovation. It is home to prestigious institutions like the University of Campinas (Unicamp) and numerous high-tech companies. One of its standout facilities is the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS), which operates Sirius—one of the world’s most advanced synchrotron light sources. This facility supports cutting-edge research across diverse scientific fields, solidifying Campinas’ position as a leading center for innovation in Brazil.

Campinas has beautiful green spaces like Parque Portugal and the Bosque dos Jequitibás. The city’s cultural life is vibrant, with the performances at the Teatro Castro Mendes and concerts of the Orquestra Sinfônica de Campinas. You can also go on a scenic train ride on a historical steam locomotive to the nearby town of Jaguariúna. Also experience Campinas’ diverse culinary options, especially its famous “torta holandesa” dessert.

About Barão Geraldo: Neighbourhood

Barão Geraldo, a district of Campinas, originated in the late 19th century. Named after Baron Geraldo de Resende, who played a key role in its development, the district initially thrived as an important coffee cultivation area, influencing both local and global markets. Over time, Barão Geraldo evolved into an academic and ecological hub, hosting institutions like branches of Unicamp and emphasizing innovation and sustainability.

This unique blend of academia and environmental preservation highlights Barão Geraldo’s significance in promoting sustainable development and technological progress.
