OAS Hosts Dialogue on the Future of Science, Technology and Inventiveness in the Americas
August 1, 2012
The Assistant Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert Ramdin, and the Permanent Representative of Colombia to the OAS, Andres Gonzalez Diaz, organized at the headquarters of the organization in Washington, DC, a hemispheric dialogue to demonstrate new paradigms for scientific and technological development in Latin America and the Caribbean, based on the experience of renowned scientist-inventor Raul Cuero and young inventors from Colombia.
Dr. Raul Cuero, who has received the NASA Space Act Award, established the International Park of Creativity in Colombia, where young inventors are trained and which promotes a culture of creativity and scientific and technological development for the socio-economic growth of the region. Dr. Cuero was accompanied in the dialogue by several representatives of the Park, who presented their inventions and patents, experiences they now share with young people from developed and developing countries.
Assistant Secretary General Ramdin said that the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean should rethink their approach to development by putting human capital, creativity, and scientific and technological development in the center of their strategies to chart a prosperous economic future. The International Parks of Creativity of Colombia model, he said, highlights the value of our human capital, a very real asset that is driving economic growth, productivity, the generation of jobs and social well-being, especially in the new knowledge economy.
Ambassador Gonzalez Diaz highlighted the work being done by brilliant Colombian visionaries like Dr. Cuero and the young people of the International Parks of Creativity. He also said that the government of Colombia is committed to encouraging talent at the national level and multiplying it to transform it into opportunities and prosperity for the societies of the Americas.
Dr. Cuero proposed a revolutionary model of change from the traditional system of education in the Americas that favors the development of capacity for creativity and invention beyond the accumulation of knowledge.
