Abstract
The International Mission of Experts 2019 brings together the contributions on education, science, technology and innovation of a group of 46 scientists and experts convened by the President of the Republic. This first volume is the Mission’s central document.
It starts by envisioning Colombia as it will look for the next generation, and proposes that the State and society commit themselves to five flagship Missions: creating equity using knowledge; universalizing education from 0 to 5 years; conserving water; developing the bio-economy; and opting for a creative and productive economy.
These are the first steps for education and knowledge to progressively replace nonrenewable natural resources as the basis for national development.
