The development of a society is measured, in large part, by its levels of generation of new knowledge, technological progress and capacity for innovation. In this sense, Higher Education Institutions are the right place to foster these potentials: a privileged space to investigate and better understand what we are, in which universe we live, or to what extent our culture and education, our past and present influence our way of thinking and acting, while the globalized world demands constant transformations and innovations of a technological nature.
The University is not the only one, but it should be a key instance that allows its teachers and students to contribute, through research, experimentation, technological development, innovation, innovative entrepreneurship and artistic creation, to the sustainable development of the society in which it is inserted.
Our Mission
Promote and coordinate the processes of production of basic and applied knowledge through institutional programs of scientific and technological research and guide the methodological-research training of the academic community, consolidating culture as a central axis of training and higher education, as well as disseminate the results of research and train groups and research groups through scientific events and continuing education programs.
Our Vision
To be a highly specialized academic unit in the production, transformation and adaptation of knowledge, at the service of the disciplines and professions involved in the academic training programs offered by the University of La Guajira.
With a focus on innovation and quality, we work to inspire our university community to actively participate in research projects that contribute to regional and global development.
