Peru will be hosting the international conference for the Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory (HASTAC) from 24 to 27 April at Lima’s Nation Museum.
The upcoming annual gathering will run under the theme “Hemispheric Pathways: Critical Makers in International Networks”.

Thus, the 6th edition seeks to analyze the main challenges of this part of the hemisphere in the fields of economy, education, cultural heritage preservation, preservation of gender, among others.

Participants in the conference will be able to listen to and have dialogue with some of the most knowledgeable people in the each field of discussion as they share their views on the latest virtual trends.

HASTAC’s organizers aim to establish a long-term presence on Peruvian soil with the founding of the announced four-day event.

This virtual educational entity is dedicated to the promotion and innovation of new models of learning and research in higher education, K-12, and lifelong learning. 

The Lima event will be the first time ever a HASTAC conference will be hosted outside of North America.
