Fun facts & trivia
Some surprising highlights hiding in the data.
🌍
Most diverse continent
Europe — 19 countries
Despite only 65 total participants, Europe sent researchers from 19 different nations — more national diversity than any other region.
🤏
Smallest country by area
Eswatini — 17,364 km²
The tiny southern African kingdom sent a participant to the school. Eswatini is smaller than the Brazilian state of Sergipe.
🏔️
Smallest country by population

The northernmost participating nation, with fewer people than Curitiba — yet someone still made it to the school.
✈️
Farthest journey to Brazil
New Zealand — ~11,500 km
A researcher flew halfway around the world to attend in 2013 — the most distant journey in the school's history.
🏆
Top non-Brazilian country
Argentina — 42 participants
The loyal neighbor represents 7% of all participants, showing up consistently across nearly every edition of the school.
🌐
Most international edition
2021 — 72% international
The pandemic forced the school online — and attendance exploded globally, drawing participants from 30 countries.
🚀
Mega edition
2013 — 86 participants
Nearly 3× the typical cohort size, with 47 international researchers from 29 countries. An extraordinary year.
🧍
Solo representatives
22 countries — just 1 person
Countries like Pakistan, Iraq, Nigeria, Iceland, Philippines, and Georgia each sent a single lone researcher — true pioneers.
