Universidad de Nariño

Universidad de Nariño is a mid-sized public research university headquartered in Pasto and serving the wider Nariño region through a distributed, community-oriented model. Regional campuses and experimental farms provide applied settings for field-based work, training, and engagement with local communities and producers. Its Vicerrectoría de Investigación e Interacción Social coordinates research, external collaboration, and ties with companies, associations, and public agencies, with a project-management unit supporting externally funded work. Research is supported by competitive national funding, including Minciencias and Colombia’s General Royalties System. A capacity-and-equipment platform also helps make university research capabilities more visible to the productive sector.
