Our agenda of plans, projects and programs aimed at generating knowledge and, in a much larger sense, to finding solutions to the problems of the region and country, involves 41 research groups, 40 of them recognized by Colciencias in the A1, A, B, C and D categories.
The goal of our research agenda is to consolidate the institution’s investigative capacity and facilitate efforts that lead to pertinent and visible results. Thanks to the work of those groups, the university has been awarded five utility model patents and two invention patents, while two other patents are in the process of being granted.
