Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas

The University aims at democratizing access to knowledge, the right to quality higher education and to promote research and innovation.

As a public service institution, our goal is to teach as a means to the full realization of the student, with the objective of configuring our society as a more just, autonomous and efficient society within the international community. We want to widen the opportunities to access quality higher education and contribute to the spiritual and material development of Bogotá. Our final goal is to become a recognised university for its excellence in research, teaching and social service within an institutional culture based on efficiency, transparency and coherence.

Research, international cooperation, student and staff mobility.
