Platform for the sustainable development of Latin America and the Caribbean

The Platform for the sustainable development of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC Platform) arises as part of the commitment of the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) for the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals (ODS), forming a space for the exchange of knowledge and dissemination of experiences between teachers, students and Administration and Services Personnel (PAS) of different cooperation groups of the UPM in order to develop a collaborative and multidisciplinary action strategy that promotes sustainable development in alliance with various partners from the countries of the region, from a territorial approach.

Objectives

  • Identify the capacities of the UPM as a whole and of its partners, as well as the priorities and potential of the countries of the region, to promote sustainable development.

  • Generate interdisciplinary work methodologies between work groups of the UPM and with partners that improve the impact of actions in LAC.

  • Consolidate and enhance the generation, management and transfer of knowledge for the sustainable development of Latin America and the Caribbean in a collaborative and holistic way.

Areas of Action

What's New

The Cooperation Department has interviewed José Antonio Mancebo Piqueras, UPM research professor and member of the LAC Platform and the “Water and Sanitation” cooperation group.

José Antonio is a teacher with a long career in development cooperation projects, recognized for his professional quality and even more for his quality as a human being. 

We encourage you to read the interview and let yourself be touched by the experiences and learnings that José Antonio shares with us. 

 

 

On Tuesday 25, at 19 hours, as part of the “Solidarity Tuesdays” cycle, the Water and Sanitation group of the UPM organizes the session: “Global crisis of forced displacement: beyond refugee camps”, which will be presented by Gonzalo Sánchez-Terán.  It will be an opportunity to learn about and reflect on this situation that so many people in the world are going through.
