The Lemann Dialogue is an annual collaborative initiative that is co-organized and co-sponsored by the Brazil Centers at Columbia University, Harvard University, Stanford University, and the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, supported by the Lemann Foundation. The conference themes vary each year, but generally focus on contemporary social, economic, and political challenges in Brazil.  Speakers at these conferences include faculty from the four collaborating academic institutions, as well as academics and policymakers from Brazil.
