He was received by Professor Julio Meneghini, Scientific Director of RCGI, who presented the programs and projects maintained by the Centre. The Ambassador explained that the objective of his visit was to strengthen relations with Dutch universities, in terms of both existing and new partnerships focusing on areas that have synergy for exchanging researchers.
[custom_blockquote style=”green”] “The visit was scheduled, after we met the Ambassador at an event organized by the Delft Technical University at the Dutch Consulate in São Paulo, Brazil. He was interested in seeing RCGI, especially because of our partnership with Shell, which is an Anglo-Dutch company. We are now planning a trip to the Netherlands, for the beginning of next year, for the purpose of holding a possible road show about RCGI in Dutch universities, in order to attract researches and partners,” Meneghini revealed.
