The joint work between the Rio de Janeiro City Council and the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Organizing Committee gained this Monday 10th, one more source of integration: the Rio 2016 Institute. The municipal agency will have a team exclusively dedicated to the planning and monitoring of the Olympic project. Besides, it will be the City Council connection with the national and international agents, the state and federal governments, the Olympic Delivery Authority, the Rio 2016 Committee and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Rio 2016 Committee president, Mr. Carlos Arthur Nuzman, and the Marketing and Communications Director, Leonardo Gryner, were present at the launching of the Institute. “The Rio 2016 Institute will interact with the Rio 2016 Committee, and is one more excellent action. Mayor Eduardo Paes has been doing very well before his responsibilities related with the Olympic Games”, said Mr. Nuzman. Among the attributions of the Rio 2016 Institute, are the elaboration and monitoring of the City Council projects related to the preparation of the Olympic Games, and the follow-up of the budget resources application. The main office will be in the Docks area, as a part of the revitalization project of that part of town
