The event, which is open to the public and will be held at the offices of Las Salinas, is already open for registration and will feature presentations by leading national experts.
On September 12, an interesting open discussion will be held to learn more about science applied to environmental regeneration, highlighting the power of nature itself for its sustainability.
Under the title “Transforming Science: Towards a sustainable future for Viña del Mar”, a diverse group of specialists will address issues related to science applied to sanitation, environmental challenges, the contribution of microorganisms in the environment and the development of bioremediation in the Las Salinas area.
Stephanie Rotella, environmental manager of Las Salinas and speaker on the panel, commented that “the discussion is an invitation to immerse oneself in those actions that science is contributing as a solution to problems of a territorial order but that have solutions on a scale that is not very visible or very unconventional, such as the world of microorganisms. Science has managed to know them in greater depth, identifying their natural capacities to face, for example, pollution issues”.
Meanwhile, Luis Álvarez, professor at the Institute of Geography of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso and another member of the panel, adds that “science brings innovation and generates transformation towards resilience, that is, a capacity to adapt to this knowledge and enable sustainability to the territory”.
The other speakers will be Dr. Constanza Macaya, Researcher at the Molecular Microbiology and Environmental Biotechnology Laboratory of the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María and Daniel Pérez, head of engineering and construction at Las Salinas.
Registration open
From the Communities of Las Salinas team, Cristóbal Polloni, pointed out that they are making a wide diffusion, calling all the community of Viña del Mar interested in environmental regeneration issues, in knowing scientific advances that have a direct application in benefit of the environment and the quality of life of the people and, specifically, in what is related to the sanitation of the Las Salinas site. “This is an open and free instance to which we invite to participate all the people who are interested in scientific advances, research and the way in which Viña del Mar is at the forefront in environmental sanitation with a project such as the bioremediation project in Las Salinas”.
The seminar will be held on Thursday, September 12 at 5:00 p.m. at Jorge Montt 2300, Viña del Mar and registration is now open through the e-mail address comunidades@lassalinas.cl.
