Of the 32 papers on display, 8 were students and teachers from the New Guinea campus.

URACCAN, as a member of the National Council of Universities (UNC), is part of the Territorial Exposciences, an activity that is developed with the aim of promoting, disseminating, developing and bringing to the Nicaraguan population the different scientific and technological disciplines, as well as fostering an approach between scientists, spreaders, researchers, innovative entrepreneurs, technologists, students and participating authorities.

In this sense, with great participation of the population, URACCAN students, together with their teachers, made presentations of research and projects, exchanging their knowledge, solutions and innovations, which are being generated in the training instances of human talents.

For the PhD. Eugenio López Mairena, vice-chancellor of the New Guinea precinct, "this space promotes the scientific, technological information and innovation, which are fundamental bases for the economic, cultural and social development of our country".
