Key details
The Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) has authorized several government officials to represent Brazil at important international science and technology forums between September and November 2026. This strategic diplomatic engagement aims to advance Brazil's national interests in nuclear security, biodiversity, and science and technology policies.
Announced by Minister Luciana Santos, the missions include participation in four major events across Austria, France, Norway, and Argentina. Rodolfo de Souza Rodrigues will attend the 70th regular session of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna from September 12 to 20, focusing on nuclear safeguards and security. Roberto Dantas de Pinho will take part in the OECD Blue Sky Forum in Paris from September 13 to 19, contributing to mapping new frontiers in science and technology while aligning Brazil’s science and technology indicators with international standards.
From September 26 to October 3, Cláudia Morosi Czarneski will represent Brazil at the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) meeting in Oslo, working to improve access to biodiversity data. Later, from October 24 to November 1, Brazil will participate in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) meeting in Buenos Aires to discuss nuclear export controls, with Rodrigues and Sérgio Antônio Frazão Araujo attending.
All costs for these missions are covered by the MCTI, and the legality of these delegations is supported by Brazil’s Federal Constitution and civil service law. These participations address technical needs and reflect the Ministry's role in science and technology policy formulation.
This series of missions underscores Brazil’s commitment to engaging in global science diplomacy, strengthening its voice in critical international discussions on nuclear security, environmental conservation, and technological innovation.
