Head of CRA/INPE is Chosen

"Personality of the Future" by France

09/06/2011 



The Head of Amazon Regional Center of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), Cláudio Almeida, participates - from June 12th to 19th in France - in the program "Personnalité a’avenir" of Quai d'Orsay, the French Foreign Office.

Created in 1989, the “Personnalité a’avenir” reflects French efforts to identify foreigners and make them partners. The program believes in future because young leaders have grown influence in their countries and in relations with France. The Brazilian Science and Technology Minister, Aloizio Mercadante, for example, participated in 1995.

As the programming meets the profile of each participant, Cláudio Almeida will have in Paris a schedule of meetings with French politicians and administrators related to actions in the areas of tropical forest monitoring, space technology and diplomacy.

Claudio Almeida is ahead of CRA since its installation at INPE, in Belém 2009. Agronomist by the Rural Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and Master in Remote Sensing and Geoprocessing by INPE since 1992, operates in the areas of mapping, geographic database, geographic information systems, ecology and remote sensing in the Amazon.
