Education

CREAR is developing two courses to be offered in the near future. These will be taught in Spanish and English. The targeted audiences are Peruvian students (performing thesis on topics of interest) and international students, initially from the University of Pittsburgh. Subsequently, the courses will be extended to other universities at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
