Third Arizona-Sonora Colloquium

The main goal of the colloquium is to strengthen and broaden the partnership between Arizona and Sonora higher education institutions through the alignment of institutional efforts and priorities to develop a knowledge-based economy and society in the shared transborder region. The colloquium aims to reassert the commitment of universities and research institutions to the innovative and sustainable transformation of the Arizona-Sonora megaregion.

The colloquium will feature a roundtable of university presidents with Michael Crow (ASU) hosting the presidents and rectors from Universidad de Sonora, El Colegio de Sonora, El Colegio de la Frontera Norte, Centro de Investigación en Alimentación y Desarrollo, Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora and the University of Arizona.

The colloquium will also include a series of academic sessions in which university leaders and faculty will evaluate ongoing collaboration efforts and discuss new ways to advance the goal of building regional capacity for joint transborder development.
