{"id":594,"name":"Veronica Fabio","url":"","description":"Veronica Fabio\r\nAgriculture Engineer, Magister in Landscape Architecture\r\nI am an agricultural engineer and specialist in landscape architecture. I am deeply interested in addressing the problems of social exclusion and inequality from the perspective of the landscape and the environment, as well as in how these can be faced through management and public policies. Likewise, my goal is to promote awareness about the importance of the landscape and its fundamental role in environmental health and human well-being.\r\nI have more than twenty years of teaching experience in various academic areas, including undergraduate, postgraduate and master's degrees in Landscape Planning and Design, both at the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism (FADU) of the University of Buenos Aires. (UBA) as in other educational institutions at a national and international level. Furthermore, I have dedicated a large part of my professional career to applied research in the field of landscape architecture.\r\nI have had the honor of serving as President of the Centro Argentino de Arquitectos Paisajistas (CAAP), the main professional association in Argentina dedicated to landscape architecture and exclusive representative of the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA). Through this position, I have collaborated closely with various academic institutions, government entities, non-governmental organizations and companies in the coordination of projects and activities with socio-environmental impact.\r\nMy experience covers comprehensive project management, the implementation of policies and actions with socio-environmental impact, as well as the direction and execution of landscape architecture works. In addition, I have contributed to numerous publications aimed at both professionals in the sector and the general public.\r\nCurrently, I am dedicated to the research, exploration and dissemination of Nature-Based Solutions, in response to contemporary socio-environmental challenges. I lead a collaborative research project between FADU-UBA and the University of Sheffield (United Kingdom) called \"Breathe. Respirar\".\r\n\r\nACADEMIC FORMATION\r\n\u2022\tAgriculture Engineer: Faculty of Agronomy, University of Mor\u00f3n, Buenos Aires\r\n\r\n\u2022\tMaster of Landscape Architecture: Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism - University of Buenos Aires\r\n\r\n\u2022\tPhD Candidate in Urban Planning: Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism - University of Buenos Aires\r\n\r\nPROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS\r\n\u2605 National Registration No. 13089 | Professional Council of Agronomic Engineering (CPIA)\r\n\u2605 Active member | International Federation of Landscapes Architects - (IFLA) \/ Centro Argentino de Arquitectos Paisajistas (CAAP) | 1989 - present\r\n\u2605 Contributing Member | International Scientific Committee on Cultural Landscapes (ISCCL) International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) | 2017 - present.\r\n\u2605 President | Argentine Center of Landscape Architects (CAAP) - International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) | 2014 - 2018.\r\n\u2605 Member | Strategic Planning Council (COPE) - Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires | 2014\r\n- 2018.\r\n\u2605 Training leader in Latin America. | Advanced Leadership Foundation in collaboration with the Government of the Province of C\u00f3rdoba and the Inter-American Development Bank.
