CienciaCercana

CienciaCercana is the UAEMéx Scientific Outreach Platform of the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico. Its mission is to bring the scientific knowledge generated by university researchers closer to society.

This knowledge is produced and shared in multiple languages, with the aim of expanding its reach and promoting inclusive access to knowledge.

The platform also promotes the dissemination of non-scientific knowledge and community-based wisdom, recognizing cultural, social, and local richness as a fundamental part of the collective construction of knowledge.
