Meeting of professional women in Ecuador
Under the slogan “Construction,
environment and development with
equality”,
we
held
the
II
Iberoamerican
Encounter
of
Women Engineers, Architects and
Surveyors in Ecuador, with the
participation of the countries of
Ecuador,
Peru,
Costa
Rica,
Guatemala, Bolivia, Venezuela,
Mexico, Colombia, Cuba and
Dominican Republic.
The activity was held from November 23rd. to the 26th., at the Convention Center of the
“Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja”, in Ecuador. The topics analyzed at the
Encounter were population and housing in Latin America, water resources and
development, Latin American mega constructions, and science and technology.
According to Eng. Dora Salazar, from the Costa Rican delegation, we were able to
consolidate information networks about the topics dealt with, as well as promote
professional strength among the groups of women engineers who have participated in
former Encounters.
The need to establish links between the professionals emerged from this Iberoamerican
Encounter of Women Engineers, Architects and Surveyors (EIMIAA, acronym in Spanish).
These links shall be established in order to share experiences and technical and scientific
investigations, among countries which due to their social, cultural, educational and
customary origin are quite similar. This at the same time enables readopting theories,
ideas, hypothesis and investigations which have been previously established and be able
to promote them with specific adaptations based on specific characteristics of each region.
