The university and the Municipality of Cuenca signed an interinstitutional cooperation agreement that will provide students the opportunity to carry out internships in different municipal companies and complement their academic development.

UPS president, Father Javier Herran, said "this agreement must be a permanent exercise in which the municipality jointly works with the university. We hope that students do not only act as engineers, but that they feel and increase their sense of belonging to this city".

Ruth Caldas, deputy mayor of Cuenca, said "the agreement will allow students to be part of the process of citizen participation. This process will enable students to be at the municipality to share their knowledge and learn about the work of the municipality". 

The agreement was signed by Ruth Caldas and Javier Herran, as representatives of both institutions.  The meeting was also attended by Edgar Gordillo, director of the university's community engagement department, and Fernando Moscoso, director of the pedagogy undergraduate program.
