The University of Madeira (UMa), located in the heart of Funchal, Portugal's capital of the Madeira Archipelago, offers a stunning backdrop for the upcoming European Society on Family Relations (ESFR) Congress. Funchal is a vibrant city known for its rich history, subtropical climate, and scenic landscapes. The university’s campus blends seamlessly into this cultural and natural heritage, allowing congress attendees to explore the city’s historical sites and the island’s lush landscapes. Beyond the academic exchange, Madeira offers attendees a chance to connect with nature. Whether through exploring the iconic Levadas (irrigation channels), hiking through Laurisilva forests, or simply enjoying the ocean views, the island provides a setting where scientific inquiry can blend with personal reflection and renewal. This balance of natural beauty and academic rigor makes the University of Madeira the perfect host for the ESFR Congress.
