In other cases maintenance is required or financial resources are very limited, that is the reason for our selection. On the other hand, is essential to develop professional and institutional capacities that currently not available or are incipient on 1. Science diplomacy (use of scientific collaborations among nations to address common problems and to build constructive international partnerships). 2. Data Science Processing (clearly knowing how to use data science to optimize processes and exponentially improve products, daily data operations, visualization including analytics and story-telling communication, data blending, among others). 3. National Networks that interact with Regional and International networks in order to optimize resources and time (financial, equipment, personnel). |
