Excellence in
management research and
development projects
For over thirty years of existence, FUNCATE has been playing its role in the management of research and technological development projects, with funds from national and international funding agencies, in a joint venture with supported institutions. Due to the close relationship with the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), it also offers to society a remote sensing service, aimed at the study of natural mineral resources, as well as lightning alert services with national coverage through the Lightning Monitoring and Warning Centre.
