Abstract
In order to integrate Latin American countries with fairness in the world process of economic, cultural and technological globalization, it is necessary to rely on the action of experts with high scientific qualification and a widespread of the region.
The basic proposal suggests the creation of a "Latin American Graduate Centre for Geodesy" scientifically designed to ensure high level studies, directed towards a permanent innovation of educational technology and creative resources through theoretical challenges and new experiences.
The participation of professors and specialists with highly proved qualifications in the region and elsewhere is implied, with a proposal of new directions and methods for approaching the quantity and quality of classical geodesy teaching by focusing on precise and intelligent bases of forefront themes in the more developed existing centres.
These ideas will represent a true challenge in the crossing over into the 2000's and will demand the formation of human resources to keep up the needs and interests in this discipline and improve scientific links through information exchange between different Latin American research groups and programs thus favoring international cooperation processes and friendship bonds between different communities.
Viability of this program can only be assured through adequate funding by international organisms for the physical and legal concretion of this centre, which must include a well-designed program of grants and awards to strongly motivated young undergraduates.
The main outline for the thematic core of the curriculum for graduate studies is also suggested in this paper.
