Resumen
The subject area of chemistry in the Tuning Latin America project, Educational and Social Innovation, emerged in the first phase of Tuning Latin America, a project whose main objective was to define both the generic competences that all professionals graduating from higher educational institutions (HEIs) in Latin America must have, and the competences specific to each of the participant subject areas, in this case, the area of chemistry.
In the second phase of the project, four general meetings of all the participant thematic areas were held between 2011 and 2012, and in 2013 a meeting was held by the chemistry group in order to carry out a final review of the document and reflect upon the project’s guidelines and our conclusions. At this meeting, in addition to the final review of the documents, a presentation was made to the teaching staff and senior management at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Perú (PUCP) and a letter of intent was signed by the area members to create the «TUNING LATIN AMERICA CHEMISTRY NETWORK» (REQUITUAL), an academic and scientific collaborative network nurturing student mobility and intercultural and scientific exchange among institutions in the participant countries. The universities making up the Tuning LA Project in the area of chemistry will initially participate, but the network will be open to any other Latin American institution related to chemistry.
