Its main function is the execution of the calls for financing of university extension projects, both those of the UNR and those coming from other spheres, public and private. The actions developed revolve around the communication of the calls, their bases and requirements, collection, evaluation and financing of the projects.
14th CALL FOR EXTENSION PROJECTS – 2025
The Calls for university extension projects are an institutionalized tool within the Extension and Territory Area, which constitutes a contribution to the construction of greater inclusion and social commitment of the Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR) with the community, addressing social issues and promoting community development through concrete action policies. To this end, the creation of projects is promoted to develop various proposals for collective action and bring future professionals closer to society's problems. The purpose of this call will be to curricularize experiences of articulation with various social actors by promoting university outreach projects within the framework of Educational Social Practices. In 2021, the UNR established the inclusion of Educational Social Practices (ESP) in undergraduate and graduate training at all its academic units. ESPs are understood as a pedagogical instance of situated learning and constitute a mandatory requirement for obtaining a degree in all curricula reformed thereafter, representing a significant milestone in the curricularization of practices that integrate the substantive functions of the University: teaching, outreach, and research.
Projects will be encouraged to be interfaculty-based, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral in nature. These projects may have a maximum duration of twelve (12) months and a minimum duration of six (6) months. Execution and planning must be planned between June 2025 and June 2026.
Only one submission (project) per director, co-director and/or executing team will be accepted under this call.
FINANCING AND EVALUATION
Up to $300.000 will be financed per project, guaranteeing the financing of fifty-four (54) projects.
Funding will be awarded based on the Order of Merit obtained in the evaluation by Academic Unit and Middle School. That is, the four (4) best-evaluated projects (highest rating) from each Academic Unit and one (1) from each middle school will be selected.
The Evaluation will consist of a (virtual) interview between the Evaluation Committee and the project work team (director, co-director, students, non-teaching staff, counterpart members, etc.).
The Evaluation Committee will be made up of three (3) evaluators and one (1) student supervisor: two (2) external evaluators - from other Universities - and one (1) internal evaluator, belonging to the UNR Extension Evaluators Bank.
