📋 Tender Overview
The Environmental Assessment and Enforcement Agency (OEFA), an entity attached to the Ministry of the Environment, through its Environmental Enforcement Academy, held the talk Environmental Enforcement and Data Science aimed at students from the professional school of environmental engineering at the Jose Faustino Sanchez Carrion National University, in the city of Huacho.
The activity brought university students closer to the main concepts of environmental oversight and showed how data science can contribute to the analysis of information, environmental monitoring and the development of research (theses and articles) that serve as support for decision-making.
The day was inaugurated by the deputy director of Capacity Building in environmental enforcement, Eng. Pablo Pena Quispe, who highlighted the importance of strengthening the capabilities of students in environmental matters, the articulation of the Environmental Enforcement Entities (EFA) to address situations that affect the environment with a preventive approach and knowing the opportunities they have as university students for the generation of new academic and environmental skills.
Likewise, the students learned about the functions performed by the OEFA and the EFA at the national, regional and local level, as well as the tools used by the OEFA to monitor environmental problems with a territorial focus. Among the topics developed, the supervision process, the Interactive Environmental Enforcement Portal, research programs and the application of data science in environmental evaluation and supervision processes stood out.
With this type of activities, the OEFA, within the framework of its educational role, seeks to bring students closer to comprehensive knowledge of public environmental oversight and promote the use of the tools that are applied for the protection of the environment.
