According to Professor Aristizábal, it is intended to create an academic community around doctorates in human sciences, that students can also take courses in other universities that may be approved in their programs "that we can make exchanges of curricula, study plans, that we can also mobilize teachers, and have degree directors work in co-tutoring."
