UAEMéx hosts international congress on governance and social challenges

The Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEMéx) hosted the First International Congress of Social Sciences and Humanities, focusing on governance and political, social, environmental, and cultural management. The three-day event, organized by the Center for Research in Social Sciences and Humanities (CICSyH), featured approximately 80 presentations across 21 working groups and 12 thematic axes.

Participants and specialists from Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Spain, and the United States gathered to discuss contemporary societal challenges. Key topics included the climate crisis, social inequality, migration, gender gaps, territorial development, equitable water management, social activism, e-government, and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence.

Arianna Becerril García, the UAEMéx Secretary of Science, emphasized that governance must move beyond vertical power structures to embrace participation, diversity, and the inclusion of indigenous communities. She also advocated for open science to democratize knowledge access.
