in 2011 the two nations signed the memorandum of understanding between brasil's ministry of science, technology and innovation and the similar entity in denmark, which created the opportunity for greater exchange among universities, research centers and companies.

many educational institutions in denmark are working to promote brazilian culture and language - the university of aarhus provides classes in brazilian studies while the brazilian embassy, in copenhagen, is active in events related to brazilian culture and academics.

the danish consulate in rio de janeiro is located at rua mexico, 90, room 610 to 613 and can be reached at (21) 2255-7600 or at 2255.7766.
