Dezember 2013.
Zu Gast sind Fabio Grobart Sunshine sowie Alina Ricalo Torres, beide von Universidad de La Habana, Kuba.

Die Referate:

Wissenschaft-Technik-Innovation: Herausforderungen und Perspektiven vor dem Hintergrund inter-amerikanischer Entwicklungen in Lateinamerika und im karibischen Raum
La dimensión interamericana en el pensamiento de José Martí

Moderation und Übersetzung: Christian Cwik, University of the West Indies, Trinidad & Tobago
