Unasur proposed a scholarship program

The Union of South American Nations (Unasur for its Spanish acronym) will launch a scholarship and recognition to the scientific merit program, to promote regional integration in education and reward work in the area of new technologies, renewable energy and bio-knowledge.

The South American Council of Science, Technology and Innovation (Cosucti for its Spanish acronym) of the Unasur, which held in Ecuador its third meeting of Ministers and senior delegates, gave priority to these areas, reported the National Secretary of Higher Education, Science and Technology (Senescyt for its Spanish acronym).

The declaration of the meeting also establishes as a priority of the Cosucti “to perform joint scientific research and knowledge management in the science, technology and innovation, which contribute to the integral development of each country.”
