The activity included important guests from the area, such as Dr. Charles Meneveau, from Johns Hopkins University (USA).

With the presence of university authorities and special guests, the Energy, Water and Environment Doctorate program of the University of La Serena developed the Renewable Energy Seminar, with the conviction that these types of issues need to be addressed, establishing a conversation and discussion about their strengths and weaknesses.

On the occasion, various talks were held regarding the problems and topics related to renewable wind energy, as well as the amount of clean energy generated in the Coquimbo Region. In this area, the professional from the region's Energy Ministry, Claudio Zambra, was in charge of speaking about the decarbonization program of Chile's energy matrix and about the regional panorama, emphasizing that 77% of energy is wind. in the sector.

There was also the participation of Dr. Charles Meneveau, from Johns Hopkins University (USA), who developed his presentation aimed at the production of energy generation in large-scale wind farms, along with referring to the current and future challenges in the area.

When referring to the responsibilities regarding renewable energies and adapting to a sustainable environment, Dr. Meneveau pointed out that “it is mainly hand in hand with university students, since they are the ones who know the needs of the future.” , also taking into consideration that the cost of this type of energy, wind energy in the first place, is cheaper and, therefore, more attractive to be applied.”

The activity concluded with the questions that the attendees asked, mainly students of the Mechanical Engineering degree, and the participants of the Energy, Water and Environment Doctorate.

The organizers of the event thanked everyone involved for their participation and left the invitation open to clarify doubts and learn about the different doctoral and master's programs at the ULS.
