If you are coming from abroad, consider extending your stay to attend the XIII Congresso Brasileiro de Comportamento Motor (Brazilian Congress of Motor Behavior), held in the capital city of Sao Paulo, from 22-24 of July, a day after the departure from MCSS. This is a biennial national event promoted by Brazilian Society of Motor Behavior and organized by affiliated researchers from Brazilian universities.
