help needed with sentence

español al inglés Otros Educación / Pedagogía Campus of Excellence
I'm struggling to sort out the punctuation in this long, meesy sentence and would like some help, especially regarding the word 'dentro' here - in, within, among? Thanks!

This is my draft so far:
"..has chosen areas of specialisation which, consistent with its abilities and unique geographical location, allow it to claim an international position, with defined scientific challenges and actions in the forefront of knowledge, among some of the main challenges facing humanity: ""


Se trata de un modelo de campus que:

- superará la conocida fragmentación de la educación superior y la limitación territorial, agregando cuatro universidades y superando los límites geográficos y administrativos de cuatro autonomías.
***- ha elegido los ámbitos de especialización que, acordes con sus capacidades y su situación geográfica singular, le permiten reivindicar una posición internacional, con retos científicos definidos y actuaciones en la vanguardia del conocimiento, dentro de algunos de los principales retos de la humanidad: **
energía sostenible
tecnología al servicio de la salud del ciudadano
