UFBA to host XV CONINTER international congress in Salvador

The XV International Interdisciplinary Congress in Social Sciences and Humanities (XV CONINTER) will take place from October 13 to 16, 2026, at the Ondina Campus of the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) in Salvador. Organized by the National Association of Interdisciplinary Research and Graduate Studies in Social Sciences and Humanities (ANINTER-SH) and the Graduate Program in Culture and Society (PósCult/IHAC/UFBA), the event focuses on the theme “Activism, democracy and culture: challenges of the interdisciplinary field.”

The congress features 896 selected academic works organized into 35 thematic discussion groups. These groups aim to connect researchers in the humanities and social sciences with community leaders and social movements. Key discussion topics include socio-environmental justice, the climate crisis, human rights, gender and diversity, digital media, and public policy.

In addition to academic conferences, roundtables, and workshops, the program includes cultural and practical activities such as guided tours of Salvador’s Historic Center and traditional communities, as well as morning Hawaiian canoe sessions. Registration for listeners and training workshops is available through the Even3 platform until October 13.
