The event was organized by the Università La Sapienza together with Università UNITELMA and Instituto Diritto Publico Comparato ed Europeo.Arthur presented the research Brazil and Biocultural Diversity: Legal Framework and National Developmental Issues, held in partnership with Aline Khoury, Master in Social Development from Université Paris V - Sorbonne Cité and cultural producer at the Institute of Brazilian Studies (IEB) of USP.The research addresses the use of legal measures to protect cultural biodiversity in Brazil, by looking at the relationship between Law and Development.

The four countries hold a high degree of diversity in three fields explored by the topic: environment, agriculture and culture. The comparative study aimed to understand the national government and legal framework for the protection of this multiple biological and cultural diversity in each country, and then propose the best protection practices, explained Arthur. He also stated that this work has been developed for a year and could be further deepened.The results of the analysis were extracted after the event together with Italian and European specialists.
