Rodrigo Diniz Aparício Mendes Alves

I have a scientific background (PhD) and experience bringing innovative science to real world application. I thrive in dynamic, cross-functional environments and enjoy collaborating with people to solve complex problems, to turn bold ideas into reality and to create societal value.

Having lived in 3 different countries and working in international roles, I see diversity as a key element for progress and innovation in order to solve the complex problems we face as a global, interconnected society.

My motivation is to help IDA become better equipped to help internationals integrate in Denmark, helping attract and retain global talent.

Moving from Portugal to The Netherlands and later to Denmark, I have experienced firsthand how unconscious bias and narrow minded policies can create barriers for internationals and their families to integrate in a new country. 

Vote for me if you want someone to promote a Diverse and Global future for IDA and society.
