Centro de Estudios de Alta Montaña

(Center of Highland Studies)

 

The Centro de Estudios de Alta Montaña (CEAM) was born as a natural consequence of more than fifty years of continuous work favouring the understanding and conservation of the natural mountain systems of the Central Andes of Colombia, its people and culture.

​

As product of the improvement of our research processes. emerges the need of unite efforts against the complexity of challenges facing by mountain systems. Our strategy has been to dump all efforts of our institution (The Universidad el Quindío) into the generation of a Multidisciplinary  Center of Excellence, with the goal to articulate our knowledge on different disciplines related with mountains, to generate appropriate and accurate solutions to the problems affecting mountain systems in Colombia and the region.

​

Our work is sustained by the expertise of researchers belong to more than a dozen of research groups with a long trajectory on diverse aspects related with the subjacent mechanics to the structure of natural and cultural mountain systems.
