As part of a second phase of a research project along with the University of Oldenburg, the general director of the Technological Innovation Park (Parque de Innovación Tecnológica, PIT) of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa, UAS), José Ramón López Arrellano, will make a stay in Germany.

The director explained that the project is about the formulation of an institutional structure to the University, in the implementation and development of research programmes, which final goal is to transmit the knowledge and techniques used in German educative centres with universities around the world.

He explained that this in-person stage is where developments and advances obtained in this time are reviewed, in addition to receive advice from experts belonging to the University of Oldenburg, in order to align with best practices and to present the advances to the different actors of the European university, also to see the recommendations, to return later, improve and apply it.

López Arellano pointed out that this is an important achievement on a national scale to the UAS, because PIT’s project was selected from over 300 universities in the world, and there are only three Mexican participants, being this one the only project involving applied research, as the other two are focused in other kind of programmes.

He emphasized that Casa Rosalina (UAS) sets an important precedent on what are the research projects, accentuating the linkage with the business sector framed in the Consolidation Development Plan 2017 leaded by the rector, PhD Juan Eulogio Guerra Liera.

Finally, he informed that the idea is to implement this proposal about the methodologies and techniques to be follow for the development of the processes, placing UAS as one of the first universities to count with a process in research, development of projects certified on an international level, endorsed by a university focused on applied research, like the University of Oldenburg is.
