The minister of Public Works, Ana Pastor, has signed a collaboration agreement with the Ibero-American Secretary General (SEGIB), Rebeca Grynspan, concerning the development of the “Campus Ineco” grant programme for Ibero-American engineers. The Secretary General of the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education and Science (OEI), Paulo Speller, and the Secretary General of the Ibero-American University Council (CUIB), Félix García Lausín, have also signed the agreement.

The “Campus Ineco” internship grant programme for Ibero-American engineers, within the framework of the International Transport Engineering Programme (PIIT), seeks to strengthen the transport engineering sector in various Ibero-American countries. The programme plans to select young engineers to work on transport engineering and planning projects in Spain, thus allowing them to acquire knowledge, methodologies and experience that can then be applied in their home countries.

Ineco has been appointed as the entity in charge of coordinating this programme owing to its experience in planning and developing global transport infrastructure projects, especially in Latin America. In this manner, the company will promote the inclusion of graduates from other countries with the “Campus Ineco” programme through bilateral collaboration agreements, consequently encouraging knowledge sharing within the transport engineering sector.

This agreement, valid for a period of four years, aims to reinforce bilateral cooperation on innovation and development between the Ministry of Public Works and other Ibero-American countries, as well as foster the exchange of knowledge and experiences.

The “Campus Ineco” programme endeavours to expand its reach to a greater number of countries, not only in Latin America, but also to other geographical areas where Ineco carries out its international activity.
