The trAndeS network was consolidated as a transnational space for academic exchange and collaboration on inequalities and sustainability. The Trans-Andean Sustainability Network was strengthened, coordinating research and teaching efforts in several countries in the region.The trAndeS Network came to include 143 researchers in 12 countries, promoting sustained academic cooperation.
From this collaboration emerged:
- New academic collaboration initiatives, both between institutions and among research groups.
- Regional integration processes based on common research topics, with an emphasis on the challenges of the Andean region.
Within the network, research clusters were consolidated in the following areas:
- Energy transition
- Development traps
- Environmental state
- Environmental public opinion
- Inequalities and care
- Urban ecology
trAndeS has implemented four doctoral schools in Lima (at PUCP), Santiago de Chile (in cooperation with COES), Cuenca (in cooperation with Universidad de Cuenca) and La Paz (in cooperation with CIDES).
