We wish to see the most beautiful creatures multiply, ¿so that the rose of beauty may never perish, but when the most efflorescent must shed its petals due to the passage of time, it may achieve its tender offspring to perpetuate its memory.

Based on a broad research interest in how memory is built and how history is told to the country, Sebastián Vargas Álvarez, professor of History in the School of Human Sciences at Universidad del Rosario, led an interdisciplinary work around the historical monuments of Colombia. These reflections are compiled into two printed publications.

The Renewable Energy Laboratory of Universidad del Rosario is the epicenter of scientific research in which undergraduate students from various areas have a leading role. His work for the classification and intelligent identification of failures in energy systems from the use of infrared cameras has been recognized in international scenarios and glimpses promising prospects.

A group of doctors and engineers uses data analysis models, machine learning and artificial intelligence to combat pulmonary tuberculosis in the most needy places in Colombia.

Panela was introduced to Colombia in the 16th century and its development was due to the effort of muleteers and their mules. Today, the most productive region for panela sugarcane in the country is located in the middle basin of the Suárez River. However, despite its importance, the product is still transported on the back of the mules. The Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria (Agrosavia) (Colombian Corporation for AgriculturalResearch) led the design of a cabling system that optimizes the transport of sugarcane in the area, but its implementation is not applicable to all panela producers, so the help of this loyal animal remains indispensable for them.

Colombia is the main recipient of people from the neighboring country, and, beyond the isolated efforts of heroes without capes, such as rectors and teachers, public policies are required that promote integration and counter phenomena such as xenophobia.

Dengue is an old global public health threat that lashes out stubbornly through cycles in tropical countries. It gives truce for a few years and then comes back stronger in specific seasons. 2023, for example, is one of those periods when this mosquito-borne disease has been unleashed in Colombia.

Wearable robotic devices to increase people’s strength or improve the quality of life of workers and patients? Yeah, and it is not science fiction. Researchers from the Universidad del Rosario are pioneers in this field of research that already shows its first results in real life.

In our territory there is a perfect storm for this disease: circulation of more aggressive varieties of the microorganism and population with genetic factors that can lead to a more negative response are part of the formula. A study from the Universidad del Rosario reviews how the relationship between the parasite and Colombians makes its infection more violent.

The researchers analyzed a total of 96 municipalities, mostly with a total population of more than 100,000 inhabitants, although some that do not meet this requirement were included, but that have similar dynamics to those cities in issues such as mobility or services.
