PUCRS opened its doors to the ambassador of North Macedonia, Ivica Bocevski. His visit is part of his schedule to find out more about the best higher education institutions in Brazil. In his view, these institutions are strategic to bring the two countries closer together.
He is particularly interested in innovation in Macedonian Agribusiness and Medicine. In view of that, visits to the Brain Institute of Rio Grande do Sul (BraIns) and the Science and Technology Park (Tecnopuc) helped pave the way for cooperation projects in the future. At Tecnopuc, the ambassador paid a visit to startup MHR Air Tech, which has been created to provide solutions in technology and efficiency for farmers to leverage their business. At BraIns, he visited the Imaging Center and Pre-Clinical Research Center.
The diplomat was welcomed on Jun 28 at the Office for International Cooperation by its Executive Coordinator, Dr Heloísa Delgado, and by the Director of Tecnopuc, Dr Rafael Prikladnicki.
