CTDR UTN Reyunos

Mendoza Argentina

The UTN's "Los Reyunos" Regional Development Technology Center was inaugurated on October 24, 2004, as an initiative of the San Rafael Regional Faculty of the National Technological University. Its creation responded to the need to generate an academic and technical space focused on the study and promotion of local and regional development in Argentina. From its inception, the Center was established with a national, local, and federal vision. National, because its field of analysis and contributions encompass the entire Argentine territory; local, due to its direct impact on the southern region of the province of Mendoza; and federal, by fostering the participation of professionals and topics from across the country, respecting the particularities of each territory. Its main purpose is to consolidate itself as an academic benchmark in development-related issues, promoting collaboration between the university, the public sector, civil society, multilateral organizations, and the productive sectors. Through a multidisciplinary perspective, the Center promotes studies, research, training programs, and outreach activities that foster a better understanding of regional realities and contribute to improving quality of life and strengthening citizenship.

Located near the Los Reyunos Dam in the Department of San Rafael, the Center boasts an infrastructure of over 1,000 m² dedicated to academic, research, and administrative activities. It also features facilities including accommodation with 118 beds, a dining hall that also functions as a restaurant, and various common areas designed for the comfort and functionality of its visitors.

Within the framework of its academic and social objectives, the CTDR seeks to stimulate the implementation of regionally impactful projects that integrate diverse knowledge and approaches, promoting collaborative work and sustainable development through education, applied research, and knowledge transfer.
