About the Hemispheric University Consortium (HUC)

The HUC was established last year, in April 2018, to share knowledge and discovery and seek solutions to some of the hemisphere’s most pressing problems, such as public health, climate change, and other challenges in the region. This second meeting will facilitate discussions to evaluate its progress and establish a formal governance structure for the consortium.
