This work is developed as a reflexive collaborative initiative between the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) and the Technological University of Panama (UTP) and aims to formulate an interuniversity project in which, from a compila-tion of successful experiences in scientific research and technology by Higher Education Institutions (HEI), strategies, good practices, actions and methodologies that promote sustainable development, disaster risk reduction due to natural and man-made phenomena in the region, as well as adaptation to climate change can be established. This initiative exposes the problems faced by the countries of the region in terms of risk management and sustainable development, the opportunities that successful experiences in applied research mean for achieving effective responses and that their integration through interuniversity collaboration (in this case Honduras and Panama) can generate more positive impact in the countries of the region. Likewise, a transversal axis of involvement and appropriation of this process by the key actors in the region is pro-posed, especially students, researchers, academics and local authorities whose work effectively contributes to sustainable development.
