ObjectivesThe principle objective is to create, from

within the halls of superior education, space for reflection about the complex environmental problems of our times, proposing forms for intervention and management of our natural resources that are more considerate of our environment.

In this sense, this initiative is trying to create a network of institutions of superior education that promotes the development of a scientific-technological community at the highest level in the distinctive levels that make up the future doctoral program and that develop among all the activities and strategies destined towards recognition and the homologation of the title of doctorate that will be granted by all the institutions.

11. Functional capacity of the website .Creation and consolidation of the interconnecting systems and connectivity on the level of institutions of superior education of the region, that lead to the development of sites for forming societies of knowledge, using and improving the potential of highly qualified human resources of the region. Evaluation will be in the in the ability to connect onto, and the capacity for answers from all the participants.

12. To create spaces for discussion and dialogue through these societies of knowledge, which should contribute to a high level of post-graduate education and to the specialization of all the professionals of the region. This will be evaluated by the links established with other professionals and institutions of the region.

Prospects for working with the UE y AL

Search for financing for international equiping for AL. Search for financing for student scholarships for UE

and Al. Integration of other Latin-American institutions of

Continental and Central America.. Look for resources for the integration of the project

with the Meso-American Network, whose central office is in the University of Queretaro, Mexico.

Offer the first integrated post-graduate program in the hemisphere in Natural Resources, the Environment, and Sustainable Agricultural and Livestock Production Systems.
