Propuesta del Coloquio de humanidades, ciencia, sociedad y ambiente

Abstract

Since 2025, the ÁBA Research Group has been organizing the Interdisciplinary Colloquium on the Humanities, Science, Society, and the Environment, establishing itself as a pluralistic and interdisciplinary forum for academic exchange. Since its inception, the colloquium has promoted dialogue among faculty researchers, students, and emerging researchers from secondary and higher education institutions, fostering the exchange of knowledge, critical reflection, and the building of academic networks with an emphasis on humanistic approaches. In this regard, the colloquium serves as a platform—currently in the process of consolidation—for the dissemination of science and the strengthening of research in the region. The symposium aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), 13 (Climate Action), 15 (Life on Land), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). This is because the reflective nature of the colloquium focuses on themes that address the aforementioned goals, meaning it aligns with objectives to which a colloquium centered on these topics could contribute, as well as with institutional policies aimed at scientific outreach and the strengthening of inter-institutional collaboration. For its second edition, it is proposed that the colloquium continue with an inter-institutional scope, aimed at highlighting perspectives from the humanities to address contemporary challenges in bioethics, the environment, and technology, while recognizing their critical, interpretive, and proactive role in addressing social, environmental, and technological challenges in the Orinoquía region and throughout the country.
