We need to be interdisciplinary to make a meaningful contribution. The concept of \u2018expedition\u2019 is because we want to push the boundaries of knowledge, discover new things, go beyond our capabilities, and collaborate with many different actors to make a meaningful impact,\u201d Segarra explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She emphasizes the platform&#8217;s potential to bring together a wide range of talent in one place, where <strong>various disciplines and technical research skills can converge<\/strong>. It also offers great promise in <strong>promoting innovation and fostering tech-based entrepreneurship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Seven Levels of EXPEDITION FEMSA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The EXPEDITION FEMSA building was designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration <\/strong>across seven levels, each with a distinct purpose. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Level 1: The Gateway to the Future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first level aims to become a community gathering spot. It features the <strong>Science Gallery<\/strong>, an international exhibition that blends science, technology, and art. There are also spaces for socializing, including a concept restaurant and an experimental store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Level 2: A Community with Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrepreneurs, researchers, and creatives will find spaces designed for connection, including initiatives like <strong>Venture Caf\u00e9<\/strong>, <strong>Rapid 3D Lab<\/strong> (a specialized prototyping lab), and <strong>Entrepreneurship Gateway<\/strong>, which connects people to the innovation ecosystem. This level will also house <strong>Ruta Azul<\/strong> and <strong>Digital Humanities Lab<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>The first two levels are open to the public<\/strong>, so they can be spaces the community can enjoy. They feature initiatives that help create the experience we want to offer,\u201d says Laura Segarra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Starting from the third level, EXPEDITION FEMSA offers private spaces and specialized laboratories<\/strong> where researchers and corporate partners gather knowledge and develop projects in various fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Level 3: Knowledge in Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This floor hosts initiatives <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">such as\u00a0<strong>Business Intelligence, Futures Design Lab, the Public Opinion Lab, the\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><strong>Behavioral Research Lab, and the C+Lab<\/strong> for urban studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Level 4: Research and Development in Education<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the fourth floor, you\u2019ll find the<strong> <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/institute-for-the-future-of-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Institute for the Future of Education <\/a>(IFE)<\/strong>, a space dedicated to advancing research, innovation, and entrepreneurship in education. It includes spaces like the <a href=\"\/en\/tech\/experiential-classroom\/\"><strong>IFE Experiential Classroom<\/strong> <\/a>and the <strong>Core Lab Data Science and Artificial Intelligence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Level 5: Holistic Health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This level aims to enhance quality of life through science and technology. It houses the <strong><a href=\"\/en\/tag\/institute-for-obesity-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Institute for Obesity Research<\/a> (IOR),<\/strong> and laboratories focused on genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics: the <strong>Core Lab Genomics, Omics Discovery Lab, and the Laboratory for Advanced Analytics and Decision Science (LADS)<\/strong>. Additionally, the <strong><a href=\"\/es\/tag\/proyecto-origen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">oriGen project<\/a> <\/strong>is based here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Level 6: Sustainable Manufacturing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">This level aims to transform the future of manufacturing through sustainability and innovation. It includes the<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"\/en\/tag\/institute-of-advanced-materials-for-sustainable-manufacturing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Institute of Advanced Materials for Sustainable Manufacturing<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0(IAMSM)<\/strong>\u00a0and nanotechnology labs, such as<strong>\u00a0SHIELD, the\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><strong>Advanced Biofabrication Lab, IoT Sensors, and the Microfluidics Lab<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Level 7: Viable Life in the Next 100 Years<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This floor is dedicated to accelerating sustainable entrepreneurship to create a positive environmental impact. It features the <strong>Conscious Business Center<\/strong>, the <a href=\"\/en\/human-social\/sium-metropolitan-urban-information-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Center for the Future of Cities<\/strong><\/a>, and the <a href=\"\/es\/tag\/centro-de-primera-infancia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Early Childhood Center<\/strong><\/a>. It also houses labs focused on climate change, carbon reduction, and energy efficiency, such as the <strong>Innovation Facility for Water, Sanitation, and Solid Waste by the IDB and FEMSA Foundation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the goals of this distribution is to promote interdisciplinary collaboration through an experience in which the <em>expeditioners<\/em> can <strong>discover different things as they explore all the levels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe building floors were designed to encourage collaboration, creating <strong>a mix between our institutes, school initiatives, a corporate entity aligned with our philosophy, and collaborative spaces<\/strong> with mechanisms that facilitate this type of interaction,\u201d says Laura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Platform to Foster Interdisciplinary Collaboration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Marco Rito, director of the <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/institute-for-obesity-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Institute for Obesity Research (IOR)<\/a>, says opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration are as easy to find in this building as stepping out of a lab to grab a coffee or simply walking through the hallways of the different levels <\/span>to see the work of other colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt may seem trivial, but when professionals from different fields meet in a physical space \u2014whether it&#8217;s to grab a coffee or attend a session\u2014 the potential is huge. You start talking to someone about what you\u2019re working on, and interest sparks; <strong>many great projects have begun from these casual conversations<\/strong>,\u201d explains the director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He adds that obesity is a multifactorial issue that must be tackled from multiple angles and perspectives. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, solutions can be found in areas such as healthcare, public policy, data management, artificial intelligence, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marco also highlights that <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">projects can be scaled and transformed into products or services that reach the market and benefit people by generating knowledge and synergizing with other institutes, researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry partners<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Rito says the IOR occupies a space on the fifth floor equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure. This includes\u00a0<strong>units focused on integrative biology, medical devices, and experimental medicine<\/strong><\/span><strong> and workstations with high computing power<\/strong> designed to collaborate with other units in the space, such as the <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/origen-project\/\">oriGen project<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/research.tec.mx\/vivo-tec\/display\/PID_169092\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rita Fuentes<\/a>, interim director of the <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/institute-of-advanced-materials-for-sustainable-manufacturing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Institute of Advanced Materials for Sustainable Manufacturing<\/a> (IAMSM), explains that the goal <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">of this space is to strengthen the institute\u2019s relationships with businesses to carry out long-term projects. It will also serve as a platform to\u00a0<strong>promote Tec\u2019s research capabilities to industry and government<\/strong><\/span><strong>, encouraging them to\u00a0<\/strong>collaborate on joint solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies such as CEMEX, Xignux, and Daikin, among others, will have dedicated spaces on different floors, where their research teams will develop projects and engage with Tec scientists as innovation partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving these different entities all present in one place, and being able to bring companies in and say, &#8216;We\u2019re collaborating with the IOR, with the Futures Design Lab, with other centers, and they\u2019re right here, get to know them,&#8217; is something that will help us. But what\u2019s even more exciting is the immediate visibility into what they\u2019re working on. This is where the communication happens,\u201d Rita shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fuentes also points out that EXPEDITION FEMSA will serve as a <strong>critical<\/strong> meeting point for students from different fields <strong>interested in conducting research <\/strong>and getting involved in interdisciplinary projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The director adds that the laboratories on the sixth floor will complement those already available at other campuses. Additionally, the IAMSM is looking to expand into new areas within this space, including <strong>nanotechnology, advanced biofabrication, IoT sensors, and microfluidics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Did you find this story interesting?
