Our Seedbeds

Research hotbeds are, in Colombia, an extracurricular pedagogical strategy that aims to promote research culture in students, especially undergraduate students, through collective work that allows them to develop formative research activities and network.

The objectives of the research hotbeds are:

• Promote research culture among students.

• Strengthen the processes of scientific foundation and research of students.

• Socialize and discuss the issues associated with the research lines of the group.

• Learn to find and review the relevant sources to address a topic.

• Acquire communication, analytical, interpretive and argumentative skills.

• Analyze, propose and develop research projects (PIC`s) that generate links between what has been learned and reality.

• Actively participate within research groups and in academic activities, inside and outside the university, that strengthen knowledge and the ability to argue in academic discussions.

• Facilitate interaction with other members of the academic community (local, regional, national or international) in such a way as to promote communication and knowledge exchange.

• Serve as a degree option or receive other benefits from UMNG for your participation.

• Be a way to facilitate future links in research groups, for example, as a young researcher.
