From July 1st to 3rd, Concordia will host the XX Spatial Data Infrastructure Days of the Argentine Republic (IDERA), the most important meeting in the country regarding geospatial information.
One of the institutions that will be participating is the Concordia Regional Faculty of the National Technological University (UTN). For this reason, a specific agreement was signed between the Municipality of Concordia and the higher education institution.
Mayor Francisco Azcué stated that “for our administration, it is satisfying to sign this agreement with a prestigious institution that contributes greatly to our city, not only in the training of professionals but also in various actions that we carry out jointly. This is a very important and prominent event at a national and international level that is being held for the first time and will be organized by a local government”.
For his part, Fabián Avid, Dean of the Regional Faculty, expressed his satisfaction at being part of these Days: “for us, it is very important to collaborate in this event, as well as in other activities that have been carried out with the Municipality, in this case hosting part of the activities of this meeting”.
