Among the attendants were the General Consul of Brazil Ligia Maria Scherer and the President of CCBC Javier Mirallas.

The UB is member of CCBC, and as university, has academic, research and knowledge transfer bonds with a great amount of entities from Brazil. This has been the base for launching the multidisciplinary and cross-sectional chair, which would cover activities on training, research, innovation, cultural creation and knowledge transfer. Moreover, CCBC is a business association created in 2011 to promote and ease business relationships and cultural exchange between Brazil and Catalonia. The fact that CCBC gathers a series of diverse companies makes it easier for the future chair not to be restricted to a center or area of specific knowledge.

In the UB, the Chair UB-Brazil project is promoted by the governing team of the university. The rector appointed the rector's delegate for internationalization, Professor Bibiana Crespo, as the director of the future chair.
