Colombia offers many opportunities to OSU faculty, staff, and students to do research and international collaborative projects.

For instance, in January and February of this year 2009. Dr. John Falk, and Dr. Lynn Dierking were invited by Universidad de Antioquia, Medellin, Colombia. to share their experiences in Science Free-choice learning at several Science Centers, and Museums of Colombia. In the near future, Dr. Shawn Rowe will be invited to Colombia to share his experiences in Science Free-choice learning. In this way it is expected Universidad de Antioquia (www.udea.edu.co) at Medellin, Colombia, and the OSU Science Free-choice learning group, the OSU Extension Service can initiate several international projects with the involvement of Sea Grant, 4-H, Science & Mathematics Education Department, and Geosciences, among others OSU Departments.

 If you are interested please join us to start a dialogue about the possibilities of visiting Colombia, or hosting Colombian's Scientists, or Educators in Oregon.
