The accumulated institutional experience and the analysis of our models and extension programs developed, constituted a valuable input to define our Extension Program 2011-2017, which strengthens the integral formation of our students and satisfies the institutional interests and the social needs of the environment.
The Extension Program is based on strengthening the extension units of the schools and institutes of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo.
This Extension Program promotes the exchange of experiences and training with national and foreign institutions, as well as inter-institutional collaboration; it encourages the integration of extension projects among the academic areas of the schools and institutes and university departments through the coordination, promotion and evaluation of the services offered at the state, national and international levels.
