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.
