The organizing committee of the VII International Congress of Dialectology and Sociolinguistics (CIDS) is pleased to announce its seventh edition, scheduled to take place at the University of Augsburg, in Augsburg, in the state of Bavaria, Germany, from October 8 to 11, 2024.

The event poster features a painting by the renowned artist Moritz Rugendas, born in Augsburg. In addition to visiting other countries in Latin America, he also traveled through Brazil, depicting the population and nature of the country in the 18th century. The selected painting depicts a visit by a group of indigenous people to a farm in Minas Gerais, thus establishing a connection between Brazil and Augsburg and the congress theme in the painter's biography and work.
