Universidad de la Salle

Universidad de La Salle is a mid-sized private Catholic research university with a comprehensive academic and public-service character, serving students across campuses in Bogotá and other Colombian regions. Its industry-facing platform combines specialized facilities with applied engagement: the LIAC high-complexity laboratory provides analytical services to public and private organizations, researchers, and businesses, while clinical units support service delivery and professional practice. The Utopía campus near Yopal adds a distinctive rural setting for experimentation, training, and collaboration connected to production and territorial development. Research is supported by competitive national funding, including Colombia’s Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. A formal research, innovation, entrepreneurship, and intellectual-property system supports project management, patents, IP protection, and external collaboration.
