UDIT and the Autonomous University of Querétaro sign a collaboration agreement to promote the development and dissemination of academic expressions.

UDIT, University of Design, Innovation and Technology, and the UAQ, Autonomous University of Querétaro, have signed a framework collaboration agreement with the aim of promoting the development and dissemination of academic and cultural expressions.

This agreement is intended to establish guidelines for collaborative work to promote the mobility of undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as the mobility of professors and teachers for short periods, to carry out joint studies and research projects, supporting and intensifying research activity, and to contribute to and encourage the scientific dissemination of knowledge and programmes and activities that promote artistic and cultural activities.

Thus, both institutions will work actively in lines of action such as the aforementioned joint research, conferences and round tables, meetings, symposiums, seminars and national and international congresses, or collaboration in the creation and participation in cultural festivals.

This collaboration agreement, which is already in force and will have an initial duration of five years, is a sign of UDIT's important commitment to internationalisation and interconnection with institutions such as the UAQ, with whom it shares its main values.

The signing of the agreement, which took place at UDIT's Design and Creative Industries Campus, was attended on behalf of the University by Juan Cayón, Rector; José Luis Olazagoitia, Vice-Rector for Research; Verónica Meléndez, Director of International Relations and Institutional Accreditation; David Alonso, Director of the Department of Video Games, Animation and Technology; Rafael Conde, IP of the UDIT ECSiT Research Group and Rubén Buren, lecturer and researcher in the same group. UAQ was represented by Dr. Pablo Alejandro Cabral, Director of University Liaison and Development of the Secretariat of Extension and Culture; and Dr. Pamela Jiménez Draguicevic, Head of Research and Postgraduate Studies of the Faculty of Arts.

For her part, Silvia Amaya, Rector of UAQ, has defined this agreement as a meeting of wills, of visions that complement each other and of a shared dream: to transform the world through knowledge, art and technology.
