GeoLatinas por Latinoamerica
GeoLatinas por Latinoamérica nace del anhelo de ayudar a nuestros países de origen. Buscamos dar más visibilidad a las universidades con carreras en Geociencias (geofísica, geología, geografía, geoquímica, etc.) que necesitan apoyo y recursos.
Queremos inspirar a las nuevas generaciones en primaria y secundaria para que estudien carreras de ciencias de la tierra y planetarias. Además, intentaremos que los estudiantes y jóvenes profesionales vean a las GeoLatinas como un apoyo para seguir aprendiendo y una ventana a especialidades y oportunidades.
GeoLatinas por América ya tiene representantes en México, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Peru y Brasil. Para más información visita nuestro Slack.
