A high-impact multidisciplinary meeting
During October 1 and 2, LinkING 2025 was the perfect scenario to consolidate alliances and explore the latest trends in engineering. More than 20 leading companies actively joined the program, strengthening the interaction between the productive sector and academic research.
LinkING 2025 brought together leading technology and innovation professionals and enthusiasts. In an environment of collaboration and learning, ideas, projects and innovations that are transforming engineering in the country were presented. Keynote talks with international and national guests, 360° Engineering spaces and sensory experiences that fostered the connection and creation between teachers, entrepreneurs and students. More than an event, LinkING is a platform that makes PUCP talent visible and projects engineering towards a sustainable and innovative future.
Three experiences, one vision
Keynote lectures: Inspiration and global knowledge
We had the presence of international and national experts who shared their vision on the great global challenges. It is a unique opportunity to hear first-hand from those who are shaping the course of engineering in the world.
Participating in this edition of LinkING were Joaquín Proenza, expert in mineralogy, petrology, metallogenesis and geochemistry; Alfonso González, expert in Artificial Intelligence and smart cities; María de los Ríos, expert in bioethics and human rights; Freek Bos, expert in additive manufacturing in concrete; Vivien Bonnesoeur, expert in ecology, hydrology, forest management and biomechanics; and Bernhard Dold, expert in ecology, hydrology, forest management and biomechanics. ecology, hydrology, forest management and biomechanics, and Bernhard Dold, an expert in geochemistry and mineralogy, and geochemistry and mineralogy of mine tailings and acid mine drainage.
360° engineering: innovation and collaboration in action
It was the space that brought together the best of our community in specialized meetings. We held a technology fair, a meeting of collaborative laboratories, a space to talk about digital transformation, a meeting of researchers, an employability zone and specialized meetings with industry and academia. This space was the heart of the event and included:
Experience: harvest, aroma and tradition
LinkING's most sensory space, where technology connected with culture and the senses. Through Harvest, Aroma and Tradition, tastings, talks and dynamics around coffee, cocoa, pisco and wine were enjoyed, showing how innovation is also lived from everyday life, creating connections that inspire and transcend.
This experience counted with the presence of 3 participating brands: Ciclos Café, El Cacaotal and Bodega Murga.These brands were able to link engineering applications in traditional sectors with an innovative approach, highlighting the excellence of their products and the appreciation of local producers.
A future of continuous collaboration
LinkING PUCP 2025 has been a testimony of the commitment of the Academic Department of Engineering with the generation of relevant knowledge and its effective transfer to society. We thank all attendees, speakers, companies and institutions for their valuable participation, and we reaffirm our vision to continue building bridges between academia, industry and society to promote a significant impact on the country.
