Abstract

The University has been honored as an elite institution of science, technology and knowledge since its appearance: it has been the scenery for the generation of thoughtful, academic and scientific thought. The goal of this investigation in the Universidad Tecnológica Equinoccial was to analyze research's results generated there, in the framework of programs and research projects presented each year. it is a descriptive research, sectional cutting and documentary with data collected by the Research and Technology Transfer Direction (ITT) from 2007 to 2015 of the total results of the projects submitted for financing. Since 2007 the institution has made seven calls for teachers to submit their research proposals and participate for science and technology designating funds; until now, the results of this process are positive, especially for the amount of approved projects and publications generated as a result of the investigation. Until 2015, the average invested in each of the calls was one million four hundred thousand dollars, which demonstrates the institutional commitment to improve research. It shows that the number of projects has grown in a systematic and sustained manner, as the number of teachers involved and the quality of the articles and / or books produced in the framework of investigations. It is still necessary to encourage faculty to be more involved in the daily tasks of research to establish sustainable programs over time to promote scientific production and the advancement of knowledge.
