UNCUYO institutional and social initiatives
Overview
The Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (UNCUYO) has initiated several institutional projects focused on cultural restoration and social engagement.
In September 2026, the university announced a plan to restore the historic Casa Bombal in Mendoza. The project aims to transform the 1920s French-style building, which has been inactive and subject to vandalism for over a decade, into a community cultural center. The initiative involves multiple university faculties providing technical expertise, though Rector Adriana García noted that securing funding from private and international sources remains a primary obstacle.
In October 2026, UNCUYO launched its annual call for the Mauricio López projects. This socio-educational extension program supports communities facing rights violations through interdisciplinary collaboration with social and public organizations. Selected projects, to be executed in 2027, will receive up to 500,000 pesos to address various social, economic, and cultural issues.
