During these days, progress will be made in defining the EDESU Model in order to identify the type (level) of development of the various university extension activities in the Central American region. Likewise, the first draft of the methodology to evaluate the impact of extension actions at the university will be designed, and finally, an event open to the extension community of the city of Heredia will be held, with participation in the PAIPAM.
Representatives from the 12 Central American institutions and two European ones will attend the session. Dr. Cecilia I. Suárez and Dr. Diego Castro will be the delegates for this event on behalf of CRiEDO.
The aim of the project will be to strengthen the impact of higher education institutions on the socioeconomic ecosystem through impact evaluation and the transformation of institutional policies and practices.
With a duration of three years (until December 2026) and a budget of €794,340.00, the proposal has been submitted under the Erasmus-EDU-2023 call, within the Capacity Building in the field of Higher Education program. The project aims to build new capacities in higher education institutions in Central America.
