The title "There is always a cup of sea to sail in" was inspired by a line by the poet Jorge de Lima (1895 - 1953) in his work Invenção de Orfeu (1952).
Based on an interview of Universes in Universe with Moacir dos Anjos and Agnaldo Farias in January 2010, follow-up email correspondence, and press releases of the organizer, we summarize here some of the most important aspects:
