A goal is to educate the world leadership on the importance of STEM for socio-economic development with global social responsibility.
“Our Leadership Channel is absolutely crucial in today’s society as we address several scientific,engineering, and social challenges which affect us all on a daily basis,”stated Dr. Ramiro Jordan, Founder of ISTEC and Vice-President of IFEES-Americas.“Among many goals we plan on accomplishing with this Channel, we expect to provide scientific influence to the decision makers of the world, to ultimately invest in technology, technology parks, alternative energies, and environmental conservations; all areas which will ultimately improve the overall well-being of our world and all citizens which inhabit it.”
