It featured a well-rounded agenda combining theory, practice, and field visits.<\/p><p>For Danna Bautista, a fifth-semester Environmental Engineering student at UPC, the experience was inspiring. \u201cThis course has given me a different perspective from what we receive in the classroom. We've seen how knowledge is applied in watershed management, hydroelectric plants, and natural resource management. It\u2019s a very enriching and thought-provoking experience,\u201d she said.<\/p><p>The exchange is part of a growing academic partnership between UPC and CATIE, which enabled this academic mission to take place at CATIE\u2019s campus in Turrialba for the second consecutive year.<\/p><p>Jorge Achata, academic coordinator at UPC, highlighted: \u201cWe\u2019ve had access to unique facilities and experiences, such as visiting the machine room of a hydroelectric plant, which is difficult to achieve in Peru. Costa Rica is a leader in sustainability, and experiences like these allow us to better understand the integration between energy, territory, and community.\u201d<\/p><p>Johnny Gabulle, a professor at UPC, added: \u201cWe\u2019re developing this course alongside CATIE experts, which enhances environmental education at our universities. We\u2019re taking home concrete experiences that can be adapted to different geographic regions of Peru, especially in areas like the jungle, which share characteristics with Costa Rica. This synergy sets a path to follow at the global level.\u201d<\/p><p>For CATIE, this type of experience is highly valuable as it encourages critical and applied reflection on knowledge in real-world contexts from different parts of the world.<\/p><p>\u201cThe participation of UPC in CATIE\u2019s course strengthens the academic and professional training of its students and faculty by offering real, practical experiences in sustainability. This international partnership promotes knowledge exchange and demonstrates how academic collaboration drives sustainable development in the region,\u201d concluded Gabriel Robles, Training Unit Coordinator of CATIE\u2019s Education Division.<br><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/estudiantes-peru3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/estudiantes-peru3.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/estudiantes-peru3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/estudiantes-peru3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/estudiantes-peru3-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/estudiantes-peru3-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><p><br><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>More information:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Graduate School<br><a href=\"mailto:decanatura@catie.ac.cr\">decanatura@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Written by:<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<p>Karla Madrigal Pereira<br>Communicator<br>Communications and Marketing Office<br>CATIE<br><a href=\"mailto:karla.madrigal@catie.ac.cr\">karla.madrigal@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un grupo de 17 personas estudiantes y docentes de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC) participaron durante una semana en el curso \u201cGesti\u00f3n Ambiental y Sostenibilidad\u201d, impartido por la Escuela de Postgrado, del CATIE (Centro Agron\u00f3mico Tropical de Investigaci\u00f3n &hellip; <\/p>","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":36572,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"pmpro_default_level":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,527],"tags":[546,353,199],"class_list":["post-36571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-noticias-posgrado","tag-gestion-ambiental","tag-intercambio-academico","tag-sostenibilidad","pmpro-has-access"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36571"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36725,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36571\/revisions\/36725"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
