The world is now more complex, more connected and changing more rapidly. One of the important roles of universities has been to make some of these changes possible. The universities, as academic entities, have the need to make contributions that ultimately will play a role in helping to develop our society and economy. 

The Faculty of Humanities and Education of the University of Los Andes has adjusted to this global tendency and works to provide a research activity that focuses on important issues within the fields of humanities. The research activity in our Faculty follows the attributes of openness, autonomy, engagement, and organization.

 

 

One important evidence of our research activity is Saber ULA. Saber ULA is an institutional repository that manages the publication, preservation and free access, full text, of documents derived from the intellectual and institutional production of the University of Los Andes.

The mission of Saber ULA is to: 

  1. Disseminate and preserve the intellectual production of the members of the university community (professors and researchers from all units and research units owned by the ULA, 
  2. Serve as a source of storage and common exchange of information produced at the University of Los Andes in all fields of knowledge,
  3. Systematically record information derived from university institutional management,
  4. Reinforce the presence on the Internet of all ULA Centers, Groups, Institutes, Laboratories and Postgraduates, 
  5. Encourage the creation of electronic publications and 
  6. Contribute to the free access to the knowledge generated in our university.
