Feedback workshop for pre-selection of projects

Central America, July 13, 2023

Today the feedback workshop was held for the pre-selected proposals within the framework of the regional project ?Strengthening inclusive science and innovation systems in Latin America through a collaborative research network? coordinated by the Central American Higher University Council -CSUCA-, with the support of  the Commission for the Scientific and Technological Development of Central America and Panama -CTCAP- and the General Secretariat of the Central American Integration System -SG SICA-, with financial support from the International Development Research Center -IDRC- of Canada.

In February 2023, the public call for the presentation of project proposals was enabled with the purpose of strengthening the innovation-inclusion nexus in the Central American region, in its two complementary aspects: Innovation for inclusion when the focus is the results of the process; and inclusive innovation when it refers to a participatory process through which innovation emerges.

In response to the call, 73 proposals were received, of which, after a thorough evaluation, 26 were pre-selected, of which 15 project proposals will be chosen that will last 22 months, which  They must be under the approach of four thematic axes:

·         Territoriality, risk and local development,

·         Economic growth, productivity, competitiveness and sustainable development,

·         Digital transformation, automation, artificial intelligence and

·         Data science, and climate change and environmental management.

It should be noted that the development of the workshop had the participation of Carlos Aguirre, general coordinator, who made a presentation on the bases on which the regional project is developed, as well as Kemly Camacho, gender consultant, in order to expand information on the bases that are needed in the theme for the development of the proposals. Finally, there was a space to address the questions and answers that have arisen from the different designers.
