Our Geminae partners: Universidad de los Andes (Colombia)

The University of Los Andes in Colombia was founded in 1948. It is the first private higher education institution in Colombia that is secular and independent of political parties, with no interest in defending the interests of any social or economic group. It has more than 30 faculties and 155 research groups. It is also committed to internationalisation and cooperation with networks such as Geminae. In total, it has more than 100 agreements with universities in more than 30 countries.

Uno de sus puntos fuertes es el Programa de Sostenibilidad de Uniandes, diseñado como un modelo replicable en otras universidades. Entre sus componentes más destacados se encuentra la transformación del campus en un laboratorio vivo para integrar proyectos en él como sistemas de reutilización de agua, manejo eficiente de residuos y sensores inteligentes para la gestión energética. También, el uso de metodologías estandarizadas para el cálculo de huella de carbono, que han sido certificadas por AENOR y pueden ser adoptadas por otras instituciones. Por último, una estrategia académica transversal, que incluye cursos básicos en sostenibilidad, programas de investigación aplicada y participación estudiantil activa.

Universidad de los Andes (Colombia)

Su interés por la internacionalización ha hecho apostar a la Universidad de los Andes de Colombia por alianzas internacionales como manifiesta su participación en la red Geminae, la red de universidades socias de UNITA más allá de Europa. El objetivo es mejorar las competencias internacionales de sus alumnos y su empleabilidad. Entre otros programas participan en la Movilidad Virtual UNITA como socios Geminae. El proyecto Geminae tiene el objetivo de crear una red de universidades de lengua romance en todo el mundo y actualmente está integrado por 30 universidades, distribuidas en 15 países y 4 continentes.

Por último, la Universidad de los Andes de Colombia ha sido reconocida por UNITA con el premio Best Practices por Hacia la Carbono Neutralidad en 2040. El proyecto, presentado por Katherin Johana Neura, consiste en aprovechar los espacios de la universidad para crear un laboratorio vivo. El objetivo es experimentar en sostenibilidad, probar nuevas tecnologías de energía eficiente, manejo del agua, biodiversidad y desarrollo urbano sostenible.
