Florencia Lopez Boo presented at an event on Neuroscience and Education for the Future: Challenges and Opportunities in the Latin-America Region

Dec 10

On December 9, 2025 our Director, Florencia Lopez Boo, joined “Neurociencia y Educación para el Futuro: Desafíos y oportunidades en la región,” (“Neuroscience and Education for the Future: Challenges and Opportunities in the Latin-America Region”) an event organized by the School of Education at Universidad de 'San Andrés'.

Florencia presented about how neuroscience can inform public policies in education and - along with Sebastian J. Lipina, Diego Golembek, and Ezequiel Gomez Caride - contributed to a broader discussion on the challenges and opportunities for the neuroscience of education. The event brought together teachers, school directors, scholars and practitioners examining how neuroscience can inform education systems across Latin America.

In her remarks, she noted that while nudges opened the door for behavioral science in policymaking, a neuroscientific approach represents a deeper shift in how policy can improve people’s lives.

We are grateful to UDESA for convening this timely conversation and for inviting Global TIES for Children to engage with colleagues across the region on the future of education.
