Since 2011 the University of São Paulo, through the Office of the Dean of Research (Pró-Reitoria de Pesquisa), has been supporting high-profile international conferences in key areas of research – the USP Conferences. These conferences serve the purpose of bringing together world-renowned specialists that can present and discuss the state-of-the art of research in their areas.

Previous USP Conferences included “Frontiers of Earth Sciences”, “USP Conference on the Sea”, “Nanotechnology”, “USP Conference on Neuroscience”, among others.

This USP Conference comes at a time of increasing visibility, as well as exciting new developments, in Astrophysics and Cosmology. The University of São Paulo recognizes the relevance of research in this area, and would like to invite anyone who is interested to come and participate in this stimulating event!
