Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires

UNICEN is a mid-sized public research university of roughly 13,500 students, headquartered in Tandil and serving central Buenos Aires Province through campuses in Azul and Olavarría and a teaching center in Quequén. Its multi-site structure gives companies and public agencies access to university capabilities across a broad regional economy, while formal linkage channels support collaboration beyond individual faculties. A dedicated Subsecretariat for Linkage and Technology Transfer coordinates testing, consulting, innovation services, training, public-sector projects, and technology-based company formation. Research is supported by CONICET, the Buenos Aires provincial science system, and competitive national funding programs.
