Between October 23 and 25, 2024, in the municipalities of Silvia, Popayán, and Morales, the Zonal Meetings “Scientific Vocations for Life 2024” were held, organized by the ONDAS Cauca program. Young people from various educational institutions in the department participated enthusiastically, presenting the progress of their research projects.
During these three days of scientific exchange, each group showcased their achievements, lessons learned, and challenges in research topics ranging from environmental conservation to technological innovation applied to their local contexts.
This space was characterized as an inclusive and collaborative platform, promoting creativity and critical reflection, demonstrating that science is a path of shared and enriching growth.
Although 21 groups were selected to represent their communities at the upcoming Departmental Meeting, in this experience there are no losing groups.
Each participant has been a fundamental part of this scientific journey, contributing ideas and sharing their vision to strengthen the research culture in the region.

These types of activities reinforce the commitment of the ONDAS program and the University of Cauca to training new generations in scientific research, enhancing local capacities and empowering youth to face the challenges of their environment.
The ONDAS program is a project that fosters interest in research among Colombian girls, boys, and adolescents, with a special focus on gender, ethnicity, and territory, making science a life path that contributes to the development of their communities. In Cauca, the University of Cauca is responsible for its implementation, thus supporting its role in regional development through education.
