SEMINAR by Prof. Galileo VIOLINI
Latin american policy of scientific development and perspectives of collaboration with Italy and UNICAL
Several Latin American countries are promoting vigorous policies of scientific development. They include training, in particular at doctoral level, regional and international mobility and advanced research.
Among the countries which have stronger programs is Ecuador, whose training and Prometeo programs constitute a model for the whole Subcontinent. Another region with interesting initiatives is Central America. These policies are often interrelated with broader regional integration policies, and have a strong connection with Trieste’s system.
In this presentation we shall analyze the conditions in which such programs are developing and the
perspectives of cooperation with Italy, and in particular UNICAL, discussing some lights and shadows of the internationalization policy of Italian university and scientific system.
A special attention will be devoted to the possibility of creating a regional Center on the management of Water resources in the Andean region.
