From July 7th to 11th, the Director of the Technological Innovation Park (PIT, Parque de Innovación Tecnológica) of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS, Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa), MBA José Ramón López Arellano, will attend to the Second French-Mexican Forum for Research and Innovation (Seconde Forum Franco-Mexicain pour la Recherche et l’Innovation), with the purpose of knowing the ways of linkage between French and Mexican universities.

The university researcher explained that the main reason for this visit is to linkage UAS with the most important research centers from France. He recalled that the invitation to attend to this forum was possible thanks to the approach between PhD Enrique Cabrero Mendoza, General Director of the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACyT, Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología), and PhD Juan Eulogio Guerra Liera, Rector of the UAS; the above, during the last General Assembly of the National Association of Universities and Higher Education Institutions (Asociación Nacional de Universidades e Instituciones de Educación Superior), in Guadalajara City (Jalisco, Mexico). López Arellano made known that his stay in France will be in the behalf of the UAS’ Rector and his intention is to promote the PIT-UAS.

He also announced his coming visit to Pachuca (Hidalgo, Mexico), with the objective of verifying the monitoring, by CONACyT, to those educational institutions which made a stay in Germany last year during November. At the event will be shown the results of the projects thanks to which these educational organisms were supported to realize such stay in the European country; besides, there will be presented a book containing the related experiences and promotion of technology transfer belonging to the institutions that were benefited through this stay.

“This book has international guarantees, such as ISBN. And we are promoting that public and private universities of the country opt for an optimal technological transfer model, one approved by German universities and centers of innovation like, for example, the German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst)”, indicated.
