The reception will take place on Sunday at 5pm on the campus of PUC-Rio at the Solar Grandjean de Montigny. The house was built in the 1820s by the architect Auguste Henri Victor Grandjean de Montigny. It is a neoclassical construction built on an elevated plateau and surrounded by exuberant vegetation. At the time of its construction, it overlooked the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and the sea.
The building was listed by the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Service in 1938 and has undergone several restorations to restore its original layout. It was transformed into the PUC-Rio Cultural Center in 1980 and into the University Museum in 2011, where cultural and academic events and exhibitions take place.

The Gala Dinner will take place at the Páreo restaurant, inside the Jockey Club Brasileiro in Lagoa, near the PUC-Rio Campus. The congress will provide direct transportation from PUC-Rio to the restaurant.
The venue has a privileged view of the city, including Pedra da Gávea, Christ the Redeemer and the Jockey race track. Get ready for an unforgettable experience to expand networking and strengthen connections with all the participants of the 9th Latin American Energy Economics Meeting.
