Except for foreign guest appearances, the event will be held in Portuguese.
The two Young Geomorphologists will be granted free admission to the conference, along with access to various activities including include short courses, which will be offered during the symposium, workshops (e.g. Delta H – https://www.deltahbrasil.com/), and pre-conference field trip (e.g. Seridó UNESCO Global Geopark – https://geoparqueserido.com.br/).
