Last Monday, 3 August, the Observatory met once again at IESP-UERJ for an internal planning meeting, featuring presentations by guests André Tovar Braga (Skoros Project) and Marcos Sant'Anna Lacerda (Terra Azul Institute).

The Observatory and the Institute of International Relations and Defence at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro have just officially established a plan for inter-institutional partnership and collaboration on academic activities from 2027 onwards.
