    Itinerant course on Informatics and Computation (South America) (Index)

  • Enrique Castillo is the creator of the Itinerant Course of Specialization in Informatics and Computation which is taught by the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences of the University of Cantabria in South America. The aim of this Program is to collaborate to the development of underdeveloped countries by giving some university groups the capability to teach this program in the future. The University of Cantabria teaches the course only once in each University (two universities participate each year) and they get the obligation to teach the same course the following years. The program has visited Colombia (Konrad Lorenz University (Bogota) and the University of Manizales), Bolivia (National University of San Andrés in La Paz and Tomás Frías University in Potosí) in 1996, and Argentina (National Northeast University in Corrientes) in 1998.
  • Enrique Castillo is the Director of two Master Programs in Argentina (Corrientes and Posadas) and a Doctorate (National Northeast University in Corrientes).
