International event debates university cooperation & sustainable development
Collaborative work in partnership between institutions from different countries and
sectors has become a global trend, and it is starting to gain strength in Higher Education. In
order to deepen the debate on the subject, the 1st International Seminar on University
Cooperation: Technologies, Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Sustainable Development will
be held virtually from May 24th to 27th, 2021. This initiative is led by the Brazil Center of the
Regional Center for Cooperation in Higher Education (CRECES); the Colombian Technological
Industrial Corporation (TEINCO) and the National Open and Distance University (UNAD), with
the support of the Fund for the Development of Higher Education of the Colombian Ministry of
Education (FODESEP), the Capacity Building Center of the University of California (UCLA) and
fifteen other Ibero-American institutions.
The event will bring together the university community and other regional actors
interested in the materialization of the 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), a global effort coordinated by the United Nations, which calls for engagement in actions
that work for the reduction of social inequalities, in inclusive economic development and
respectful of the environment, as well as the fight against global warming and climate change, a
mobilization aligned with the post-covid-19 international resumption.
The International Seminar will be broadcasted by Youtube TEINCO La Tecno, counting
with simultaneous translation into Spanish and Portuguese, and offering certificates of
participation to the public. More information about the program and the speakers can be found

Interestingly, the principles that drive innovation and collaboration in academic and technological spaces can also apply to personal health management. Just as universities and startups focus on optimizing processes, fostering creativity, and addressing complex problems systematically, managing high blood pressure requires a structured and evidence-based approach. This connection might seem unexpected at first, but both realms—technological innovation and health innovation—rely on data-driven strategies, proactive planning, and consistent implementation.
For instance, in the same way researchers analyze trends to improve educational and entrepreneurial outcomes, health professionals study dietary patterns to mitigate chronic conditions like hypertension. High blood pressure, often called the “silent killer,” affects millions worldwide, and its management is not solely about medication. Lifestyle choices, particularly diet, play a critical…
Interestingly, the discussions at the 1st International Seminar on University Cooperation: Technologies, Entrepreneurship and Innovation highlighted a broader theme that extends far beyond technology and business—human well-being. Innovation isn’t limited to gadgets or startups; it also touches the way we approach health and lifestyle. Just as universities are exploring novel collaborations to solve global challenges, researchers and health professionals are innovating strategies to tackle one of the world’s silent yet pervasive issues: high blood pressure. This connects to the idea that just as technological systems need optimization, so do our bodies—and diet plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal health.
One dietary approach that has gained significant attention for its effectiveness is the DASH diet and high blood pressure connection. For…
Establishing a poultry farm has become one of the most promising ventures in the agricultural sector today. Among the different types of poultry farming, a chicken farm stands out as an efficient and profitable choice for both small-scale and large-scale farmers. A well-managed chicken poultry farm can yield high returns while providing a consistent supply of eggs and meat to meet market demand.
A hen poultry farm focuses primarily on rearing hens for egg production, making it a highly lucrative business. Farmers who venture into layer farming can take advantage of the increasing demand for fresh eggs across cities and rural areas. A layer poultry farm is designed to provide optimal conditions for hens to produce eggs efficiently, including proper…
The discussions at the 1st International Seminar on University Cooperation: Technologies, Entrepreneurship and Innovation highlighted the importance of integrating modern solutions into everyday challenges. Interestingly, one area where innovation has made a remarkable impact is in space management and storage solutions. Just as universities and startups explore creative methods to optimize resources and efficiency, businesses and individuals alike are seeking flexible ways to manage their storage needs without compromising on convenience or cost. This connects directly to the rise of mobile storage units as a practical and technologically savvy solution.
With rapid urbanization and increasing demand for adaptable infrastructure, traditional storage methods often fall short. Many organizations, whether involved in research, manufacturing, or entrepreneurship, face the challenge of needing temporary yet secure…
The 1st International Seminar on University Cooperation: Technologies, Entrepreneurship and Innovation highlighted the pivotal role that cutting-edge technologies and innovative strategies play in shaping modern industries. While discussions spanned from entrepreneurial ecosystems to smart manufacturing innovations, one recurring theme was the critical need for efficiency and productivity in industrial operations. Interestingly, this focus on maximizing output while maintaining quality connects directly to the practical tools used in the field of industrial engineering, particularly in work measurement and time study. One such tool that bridges theoretical concepts discussed in seminars with hands-on industrial applications is MODAPTS.
For professionals and students attending these seminars, the connection becomes evident: while technological advancements drive new product development and innovation, methods like MODAPTS ensure that the production…
