Resiliency Through Innovation in Sustainable Energy for Puerto Rico (RISE-PR)

MOU entre INESI-UPR y

Arizona State University

Objetivos de RISE-PR

Promover el diseño de sistemas energéticossostenibles para la re-electrificación de PR, sobre todo

en comunidades que enfrentan baja prioridad de reconexión.

Empoderar comunidades y organizaciones en Puerto Rico para reimaginar y rediseñar la energía comoinstrumento para la reconstrucción y la vitalidad

socio-económica.

Reinventar la educacóon superior en PR usando comoejemplo el éxito de ASU; que la UPR se convierta en

centros de desarrollo sostenible regional promoviendo la innovación, la interdisciplinariedad y

la investigación aplicada.
