Defending Classical Liberal Values Through Research, Education, And Public Debate

Impact Project: Instituto Atlantos

Instituto Atlantos is a non-profit think tank based in Porto Alegre with over a decade of experience promoting liberty in Brazil. It addresses the persistent ideological imbalance in academic and intellectual spaces by offering high-quality educational programs, public events, and content that defends classical liberal values. Through its structured training cycle, university study groups, and consistent digital and policy presence, Atlantos is building a new generation of liberty-minded leaders prepared to shape Brazil’s intellectual, civic, and economic life.

The organization stands out for combining theory, practice, and outreach. Its initiatives go beyond academic discussions by engaging the broader public in accessible, high-impact ways, including events like the Atlantos Conference, entrepreneurship programs, and tax awareness campaigns. The institute’s work is supported by a strong publishing record and partnerships across Brazil and internationally.

  • Host the 10th edition of the Atlantos Conference (April 2026).
