Red Nacional de Extensión Universitaria: hacia la consolidación de una agenda para la jerarquización de la extensión universitaria en Argentina

Abstract

This article describes the consolidation and strengthening of University Extension in Argentina based on the advances promoted by the National Interuniversity Council and the National University Extension Network, in dialogue with the international higher education agenda. It is based on the legacy of the University Reform of 1918, which established principles such as the democratization of knowledge, university autonomy and social commitment, to position extension as a space for dialogue and exchange of knowledge with society, promoting social transformation and territorial development. In addition, agreements, regulations and days that gave rise to facts and events for the hierarchy of university extension are historicized. The article outlines the path taken based on an agenda established by this Network, the achievements made and some challenges in the current context that the Argentine university system is going through.
