UPS is a private, non-profit institution, co-financed with state funds, with its own legal personality and responsible autonomy in academic, administrative, financial, and organizational matters. UPS was founded during a very critical period from a social and economic perspective. Once the project to create the University was approved, the Salesian Society of Ecuador began operations at the new Center for Higher Education in October 1994. Prior to this, on September 6, 1994, the first University Council was established, and the Rector and Vice-Rector took office. Its main campus is located in the city of Cuenca, with branch campuses in the cities of Quito and Guayaquil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">The Salesian

universities have been emerging rapidly across different continents, each with its own distinct characteristics. It was then that Don Bosco's eighth successor, Don Juan Edmundo Vecchi Monti (1995-2002), emphasized the need for the General Directorate of the Salesian Congregation to accompany and guide these newly developing university institutions. Following this development and after several meetings worldwide, on January 7, 2003, the Rector Major of the Salesians, Don Pascual Ch\u00e1vez Villanueva, and his Council, in plenary session, unanimously approved the documents \"Identity of Salesian Institutions of Higher Education\" and \"Policies for the Salesian Presence in Higher Education.\" These documents now serve as the Congregation's roadmap for these institutions and are integral to the projects of the Salesian Provinces in the various countries where the Salesians are present. Thus, looking to the future, the IUS find in these two documents instruments of direction and governance regarding the definition of the Salesian character of these works, the description of the fundamental lines, the identification of the new goals and objectives that must be achieved; in such a way that the Salesian Congregation will certainly build firmly within the university sphere an educational tradition that has already begun.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presentaci\u00f3n La Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica Salesiana (UPS \u2013 Ecuador), como instituci\u00f3n organizadora; la Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO Ecuador) y la Universidad T\u00e9cnica Particular de Loja (UTPL), como instituciones coorganizadoras; en articulaci\u00f3n con la Red de Investigadores de la Comunicaci\u00f3n (RISE) y los grupos de investigaci\u00f3n GICODEPO, GICEA y GIDITECI, convocan a la comunidad acad\u00e9mica&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1137,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":true,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"hide","_kad_post_layout":"fullwidth","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"unboxed","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"hide","_kad_post_feature":"hide","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-768","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
