Colombian-German Network for Research and Innovation

BioGeCo is a binational network of researchers to collaborate on science and innovation projects to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals of Colombia and Germany

We are currently identifying Colombian and German scientists interested in the BioGeCo Network with the institutional support of the Colombian Embassy in Germany, the Colombian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT.

The BioGeCo Network IDENTIFIES researchers working on science and innovation projects between Colombia and Germany, CONNECTS them to develop new proposals together, supports their project MANAGEMENT with a transdisciplinary approach, and DISSEMINATES their results highlighting its impacts on the Sustainable Development Goals of both countries.”

BioGeCo is the strategic partner for researchers to advance science and innovation projects between Colombia and Germany while showcasing their societal impact.

BioGeCo is the benchmark for networks of international cooperation and science diplomacy between Colombia and other countries, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals of the regions.

“To the younger scientists, I will suggest that they should do science which can create new knowledge and technologies and at the same time help in taking science to society. The expectation has shifted from science for the sake of human knowledge to science to meet societal needs.”
