Academic Mobility Program for Scientific Knowledge Transfer to Rural Communities for Peace Building

Fundación Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano, the Pennsylvania State University, and Fundación Universitaria del Área Andina will conduct an international academic exchange program in order to establish sustainable partnerships between the three universities and to promote scientific knowledge transfer among Colombian scientific research groups and U.S. students. This program aims to go beyond academic research to engage in dialogue with vulnerable communities and utilize their local knowledge in the post-conflict peace building process.
