Welcome to AIRAPT27

The 27th International Conference on High Pressure Science and Technology (AIRAPT27), the largest and most important international scientific event in the field of high pressure science and technology, will be held in Rio de Janeiro from 04th to 09th August, 2019, in the Convention Center of the Windsor Barra Hotel, a 5 stars hotel located in the region of Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

On this website you will find information regarding registration, abstract submission, hotel reservation, visa procedure, the city of Rio and Brazil, social events, and many other subjects of interest to those who plan to attend the AIRAPT27 Conference.

As an important complement, to enhance the impact of the AIRAPT Conference in Brazil and taking advantage of the planned commissioning of the extreme conditions beamline at SIRIUS in 2019, a satellite event on Synchrotron techniques under high pressure (PRESSYNC) will be organized in Campinas, the week before the AIRAPT27, to celebrate this milestone in high pressure research in Latin America.

This website will be the main and most up-to-date source for information on the AIRAPT27 Conference.

If you have any questions about the conference, please contact our secretary:
