EU-BEGP partners shine at the 2nd Nanoandes Congress and Workshop

By the invitation of the Chemical Sciences Department and the Institute of Chemical Research of UMSA, several partners from the EU-BEGP Project, participated in the XIII NanoAndes School ‘Saúl Cabrera’ and the 2nd Bolivian Congress of Nanomaterials, Renewable Energies, and Evaporative Resources. These events took place in La Paz from November 11 to 15 and November 18 to 19, 2024, respectively, bringing together academic and research institutions from across the region.

This event was a collaborative effort involving both professors and students from Brazil, Ecuador, Perú, Colombia, and Bolivia, illustrating the power of remote learning and cross-border cooperation.

During the event, Omar Ormachea, PhD, from the UPB, delivered an insightful presentation and led a practical workshop on remote laboratories titled “Remote Laboratories in Renewable Energy: Spectrometry and Photovoltaic Solar Efficiency in Real Time”. Additionally, he conducted a presentation about the EU-BEGP Project, providing attendees with a in-depth understanding of its objectives, progress, and impact on promoting international collaboration in education and research.

Prof. César Costa from Escuela Politécnica Nacional in Ecuador (EPN-EC) gave a lecture on “Experiences in the Delvelopment of Modules for Self-Training on Energy and Circular Economy”, in relation to the EU-BEGP Project, and Juan Rodríguez, PhD. from Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería in Perú (UNI-PE) also actively participated in the event, and presented the topic “Nanomaterials and technologies for water purification in rural areas: the Peruvian experience”.

Sharing their expertise and insights with the audience their contributions demonstrated the strong collaboration between European and Latin American institutions, a core value of the EU-BEGP Project.
