In August 2026, five high school and baccalaureate teachers from the university participated in a Spanish-language program at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. This training focused on particle physics, accelerator operations, and scientific computing to enhance classroom instruction in mathematics and technology. By September 2026, the university expanded its training efforts through the completion of a 120-hour Diploma in Artificial Intelligence and Teaching Transformation. This program, led by the Agency of Artificial Intelligence and Algorithmic Ethics, seeks to develop a faculty profile termed ‘Docente GuIA’. The initiative aims to train 1,000 instructors within one year to help them integrate technical understanding with pedagogical ethics and redesign classroom activities to address student use of AI. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-11: BUAP implements AI training program for university faculty BUAP has launched a training program to develop 1,000 ‘Docente GuIA’ instructors capable of integrating AI into classrooms and teaching students to use the technology critically and ethically. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/buap-implements-ai-training-program-for-university-faculty ### 2026-08-13: BUAP teachers receive scientific training at CERN Five BUAP teachers participated in a scientific training program at CERN in Switzerland, focusing on particle physics and advanced technology to enhance classroom instruction. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/buap-teachers-receive-scientific-training-at-cern --- Cite as: BUAP faculty professional development initiatives.
