A project designed to foster an exchange of experiences between Brazilian and European experts with the aim of contributing to the country’s development at a political level in sectors such as sustainable development, climate change, science and technology, human rights, anti-drug policies, and urban mobility. A project that has been managed by the International and Ibero-American Foundation for Administration and Public Policies (FIIAPP) since 2007 and funded by the European Commission.

The event was attended by 50 professionals from the Ministry of Environment, Agriculture and Rural Development; the Ministry of Planning; representatives of the European Union Delegation to Brazil and officials from other institutions and agencies related to agricultural financing, the environment, water, agricultural statistics, etc.

The opening ceremony was led by Carlos Mario Guedes, Secretary-General of Sustainable Rural Development, and representatives of other ministries directly involved in this action.
