NOMENCLATURE
The Conselho Internacional de Estudos Contemporâneos em Pós-Graduação – CONSINTER is a non-profit institution whose mission is to promote individual autonomy so that, in a constructive and integrative manner, individuals can improve their own future and contribute positively to society as a whole.
With the goal of extending an open invitation to a major international event, CONSINTER annually organizes Legal Symposiums in Spain, where participants have the opportunity to present their original scientific contributions orally, with the possibility of publication in one of its official international works. These publications are distributed both in Europe and Brazil and include:
- The International CONSINTER Law Journal, rated QUALIS A3
- The book Law and Justice, published by Editorial Juruá, the only Luso-Brazilian publishing house included in the SPI (Scholarly Publishers Indicators)—an international ranking that measures the editorial prestige and impact factor of publishing houses present in Spain.
Regarding the events, what was previously known as the International Symposium has now been rebranded as the International Congress due to its growth and expanded range of topics.
