and Development Laboratories
The Research and Development Laboratories
Initiative (R&D) provides access to state-of-the-art technology
for educators and researchers. These technologies are used
to teach advanced concepts and experiment with new techniques.
In doing so, the Initiative tackles regional problems such
as the lack of current information and resources for planning
and developing technology, the lack of international cooperation
in developing the critical mass needed for projects and joint
efforts, and the lack of interaction between universities
and industries.
R&D Objectives
- To offer ISTEC’s educators and researchers direct
access to state-of-the-art technology;
- To foster initiatives originated in the region for the
region within the scope and objectives of the R&D initiative;
- To facilitate interaction between industries, universities
and funding agencies to support research projects and initiatives
in the region;
- To promote horizontal collaboration between Science and
Technology departments between ISTEC member institutions;
- To identify and support regional champions to create
development teams in the Ibero-American region;
