Pennsylvania-Colombia Green Horizon Initiative: US-Colombia Sustainable Energy Education Partnership
The goal of this program is to build a sustainable education and research partnership between The Pennsylvania State University and Universidad Del Norte in the thematic area of renewable energy engineering. A new model of inclusive student/faculty exchange will merge existing renewable courses at the two institutes and promote international student teaming to solve a climate and energy related problem. A complementary climate action project will be conducted to identify viable options for renewable energy sources in climate-change affected communities of the Bocas de Ceniza Sector – Cienaga de Mallorquín in Barranquilla, Colombia.
