The city of Salvador, Brazil, is hosting several academic events at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA). 

In mid-October 2026, the XV International Interdisciplinary Congress in Social Sciences and Humanities (XV CONINTER) took place at the Ondina Campus. Organized by ANINTER-SH and UFBA, the congress addressed themes of activism, democracy, and culture through 896 academic works and 35 discussion groups covering topics such as human rights, the climate crisis, and public policy.

Following this, the 29th Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Society of Cinema and Audiovisual Studies (SOCINE) was scheduled for early November 2026 at UFBA. Returning to Salvador after 23 years, the meeting focused on the theme “Fins do Mundo, Mundos Sem Fim” and drew a record 800 registrations to discuss the history of Bahian cinema and the expansion of the audiovisual field.
