About GC-UPTC

Mission statement

The Mission of the Grupo de Catálisis de la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia is to contribute with the generation of new scientific knowledge in Colombia and at the international level in Catalysis field, all this is possible through new research products such as scientific papers, attending to scientific meetings, interaction and cooperation with other research groups of catalysis in Colombia and around the world and supporting undergraduate and postgraduate academic programs.

Vision

The Grupo de Catálisis de la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia will be recognized at the regional, national and international level, as an interdisciplinary research group with experimental lines focused on the development of heterogeneous catalysis, homogeneous catalysis, enzymatic catalysis and photocatalysis. Our scientific and academic staff has a great ability to adapt to new challenges involved in the resolution of scientific questions. In order to improve our work, start further research and contribute to the catalysis field around the world, we are always looking for partnerships with industry and with other research groups.
