To become a Brazil Forum member the interested person must be registered or working at Imperial College and then contact us. Imperial College alumni and former staff interested in this initiative are also encouraged to join us. There is no fee to become a member. The Forum aims to promote events and meetings that are also open to external people, who are warmly welcome to attend and participate.
Brazil Forum’s structure is based on: Chairperson (moderator), Steering Committee and Members. In addition, the Forum has partner institutions that support the Brazil Forum initiative and work in collaboration with it in specific activities when convenient. The chairperson and members of the steering committee are elected by the Forum members (biennial elections), see Terms of Reference.
Our partner institutions are the Embassy of Brazil in London, the British Embassy in Brasilia and the Brazilian Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain.
