The event took place at the National University of Asunción (UNA) in Paraguay.
AUITMER was established in 1999 with the aim of serving as a forum for discussion on the fundamentals of engineering education and mutual recognition of engineering programs within the Mercosur region, as well as to promote exchange and cooperation among member universities.
Mr. Fernández also delivered a lecture to faculty and advanced students in the Systems Engineering program at UNA, titled "The Software Industry and the University’s Role in the Development of Startups."
