Executive Summary: The changes in coverage and the increase in land use, in addition to the degradation of ecosystems, have promoted the National System of Protected Areas (SNAP), to increase the care and conservation of endemic or biodiversity areas through the use of monitoring tools. One of the main tools used to […]
Executive Summary: Technological development and industrialization have brought with them secondary effects that little by little have been damaging the atmosphere, whose importance is vital for the survival of all living beings and climate balance. Countless reports from both governmental and non-governmental organizations, at different levels, have highlighted the need to develop

Executive Summary: This project contributes to the long-term goal of obtaining continuous data on the use of road infrastructure and public space. Municipalities carry out automated vehicle counts on avenues, but pedestrians and cyclists are not recorded. Open data approaches are also not used, so the information collected is not accessible
Video-classifier for mobility actors as an alternative to manual volumetric counts Read More »

General Objective: The objective of this project is to contribute to the improvement of food safety in Ecuador through the development of mitigation strategies for microbial, mycotoxic and heavy metal contaminants in the most consumed foods in the country and validation of the impact of a program. nationwide training. Specific Objectives Institutions
General Objective: The general objective of this study is the development and pilot application of a method and tool for the evaluation and design of safe school routes in two intermediate cities in Ecuador. These safe routes are urban corridors that offer attractive conditions so that boys and girls can walk or pedal safely.
General Objective: Identify biogeochemical and hydrological processes in wetlands with stable isotope techniques in the páramo and the Amazon of southern Ecuador to propose conservation lines and eventual generation of public policy. Specific Objectives Participating Institutions: UTA, UCACUE, University of Bayreuth. Participants: Project Director Gustavo Chacón Vintimilla, PhD. In Biology – UDA. Budget
