La inauguraci\u00f3n de este centro es el resultado del esfuerzo e iniciativa de la Universidad Nacional con el Gobierno y la empresa privada, Fundaci\u00f3n FEMSA, con el fin de contribuir a la Gesti\u00f3n Integrada del Recurso H\u00eddrico (GIRH) en Centroam\u00e9rica y el Caribe, mediante la excelencia en la investigaci\u00f3n, la extensi\u00f3n, la docencia y la importante vinculaci\u00f3n con todas y todos los actores sociales relacionados con los distintos procesos de gesti\u00f3n, estableciendo alianzas intra e intersectoriales.<\/p>\n
En el 2009 se formula en la UNA el proyecto HIDROCEC, en enero del 2010 se firma el Convenio marco entre la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica y el Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey, M\u00e9xico para la cooperaci\u00f3n acad\u00e9mica y cient\u00edfico-tecnol\u00f3gica entre el Centro de Recursos H\u00eddricos para Centroam\u00e9rica y El Caribe (HIDROCEC) y el Centro del Agua para Am\u00e9rica Latina y el Caribe. Se inicia la construcci\u00f3n de las nuevas instalaciones de los laboratorios especializados en agosto del 2010.<\/p>\n
Los objetivos principales del HIDROCEC son:<\/p>\n
Adem\u00e1s este centro brinda importantes servicios como investigaci\u00f3n aplicada, desarrollo de tecnolog\u00edas, formaci\u00f3n formal e informal, asesor\u00edas t\u00e9cnicas y servicios de laboratorio en las \u00e1reas de desarrollo de calidad de agua, desarrollo de sistemas de tratamiento de aguas residuales y gesti\u00f3n de cuencas hidrogr\u00e1ficas.<\/p>\n
Se est\u00e1 trabajando a nivel local y regional, pero a corto y mediano, se espera expandir los proyectos e intercambio de experiencias con la Regi\u00f3n Centroamericana y el Caribe, esto con el fin de alcanzar la misi\u00f3n del centro y acercarnos a nuestra misi\u00f3n que busca contribuir y mejorar la Gesti\u00f3n Integrada del Recurso H\u00eddrico (GIRH) en Centroam\u00e9rica y el Caribe.<\/p>\n
