What is RUITEM?
The Ibero-American University Network on Territory and Mobility (RUITEM) is a joint collaboration project between working groups of Ibero-American universities.
RUITEM aims to promote areas of work related to territory, transport, sustainability and governance, with a broad integrative and transversal approach, in accordance with the declaration of its Letter of Intent, signed in Recife (Brazil) in 2004.
RUITEM members are teachers from the different Universities, who act as representatives of RUITEM in the Faculty, Departments, Sections or even Working or Research Groups, without the need to assume any type of administrative or economic commitment, linked only by their will to participate, under the figure of a non–profit association, this fact makes it possible to avoid complex bureaucratic procedures.
RUITEM may accept the incorporation of new representatives, upon request and acceptance by the Coordination Commission and the Assembly. Likewise, it may incorporate as institutional members, those persons linked to the Administrations and as collaborating members, those persons who are in the private sector and wish to participate representing their company (“Collaborating Entity”).
An annual General Assembly is held together with an International Forum, in addition to the different meetings of its Working Groups, for the development of its specific activities.
