María Cano Strengthens Occupational Health and Safety with International Academic Leaders
- 6 octubre, 2026
Fundación Universitaria María Cano continues to promote academic development and interinstitutional collaboration spaces that contribute to workers’ well-being and the creation of safer work environments. On this occasion, the Popayán campus joins an important initiative led by the Occupational Health and Safety Committees Network of the Department of Cauca.
As part of this academic event, the participation of Dr. Andrew Thatcher, a renowned international scholar and Professor of Industrial and Organizational Psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand, stands out. He will share his expertise, experiences, and perspectives on current challenges in Occupational Health and Safety.
The presence of international experts enriches academic dialogue and encourages reflection on key issues related to health, well-being, and workplace safety, contributing to the development of innovative strategies that respond to the evolving dynamics of modern work environments.
For María Cano, with campuses in Medellín, Cali, Neiva, and Popayán, these initiatives represent valuable opportunities to strengthen the education of students, graduates, and professionals while fostering partnerships that promote knowledge exchange and academic outreach at both national and international levels.
Through initiatives like this, the institution reaffirms its commitment to academic excellence, internationalization, and the promotion of practices that contribute to safer, healthier, and more sustainable organizations for society.
