The projects are part of the Federal Government\u2019s New Growth Acceleration Program (PAC) and are financed with resources from the National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development (FNDCT) of the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MCTI).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Both are part of the federal government\u2019s strategy to strengthen science, technology, and innovation in Brazil. During the visit, Luciana Santos highlighted the importance of Orion, which will be the world\u2019s first maximum biosafety laboratory connected to a synchrotron light source, Sirius.<\/p>\n

The Minister highlighted that the unprecedented infrastructure represents a decisive advance for Brazil’s scientific and technological sovereignty, allowing the country to be prepared to respond to future epidemics more quickly with the development of medicines, vaccines, and treatments. \u201cThe Lula government is working to anticipate pandemics and ensure solutions that improve the lives of the Brazilian people,” stated the Minister.<\/p>\n

CNPEM General Director, Antonio Jos\u00e9 Roque, highlighted the importance of the visit and of the MCTI’s support. \u201cIt was very important today to welcome Minister Luciana and her team. She came to monitor the progress of phase 2 of Sirius and the works on Orion, as well as learn about other relevant projects in areas such as renewable energy, biomass transformation, health and medical equipment, in partnership with the Ministry of Health. The MCTI and federal government\u2019s support has been helping to transform Brazil, bringing sovereignty and solutions to society’s challenges\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

In addition to Jos\u00e9 Roque, took part in the visit representing the CNPEM directors Maria Augusta Arruda, Director of the Brazilian Biosciences National Laboratory (LNBio); Harry Westfhal Jr., Director of the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS); Mario Murakami, Director of the Brazilian Biorenewables National Laboratory (LNBR); James Francisco Citadini, CNPEM Deputy Director of Technology; and S\u00e9rgio Rodrigo Marques,\u00a0 CNPEM Deputy Director of Infrastructure.<\/p>\n
