CIMNE and PUCP strengthen ties for technology transfer

Jul 4, 2023

On 29th June, 2023, CIMNE received a visit from the Head of Innovation and Technology Transfer at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP), David Santos Llave. He participated in a meeting with the representatives of CIMNE's Tech Transfer Unit, which served to strengthen collaboration in knowledge and technology transfer between both institutions.

During the meeting, successful experiences were shared, with special focus on the PIKSEL project, the Integrative Knowledge Portal for the Sustainable Management of Ecosystems and Territory carried out by CIMNE and funded by the Catalan Government. Additionally, it were addressed other joint initiatives and projects related to priority topics such as climate change, natural conservation, and renewable energies were explored, which are of great interest to both PUCP and CIMNE.

Another relevant aspect of the visit was the importance of enhancing the alliance with the INACOM/Aula PUCP-CIMNE, an active network of academic and scientific collaboration since 2009, which has proven to be a strategic ally for the achievement of joint projects in the country.

Both CIMNE and PUCP share the commitment to generate a visible impact on society through technology transfer. Both institutions aim to promote the development of innovative solutions that contribute to improving people's quality of life.

CIMNE and PUCP will continue working together to address present and future challenges in critical topics. We hope that this visit signifies the beginning of a successful collaboration for both organizations.
