All Brazilian funding agencies are public, and they're very strict when it
comes to grants for international events. GWU can host the event, but is it

In practical terms, long story short, I need a certificate of participation

Wikimania often partners with academic institutions. Including this
year, when it is being hosted at GWU.
Juliana, what sort of promotion by a host institution would you need
