Resumen
Se realizó una revisión de los proyectos de extensión-investigación de la
Sede Regional Chorotega (SRCH) de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica para
fortalecer la interrelación extensión-investigación-docencia y su articulación con la
región. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar cómo los proyectos de extensión e
investigación influyen en la articulación interna y externa de la SRCH para cum plir con las diferentes actividades de la acción sustantiva universitaria. Se revisaron
veintiocho proyectos de extensión-investigación, periodo 2012- 2017, utilizando un
metaanálisis cualitativo y exploratorio de los proyectos registrados en el Sistema de
Información Académica de la UNA. Los proyectos de extensión-investigación han
fomentado una fuerte articulación de la UNA con comunidades y aliados estratégi cos, ampliando el conocimiento de diversas disciplinas. Los proyectos permiten a
las personas académicas mejorar su interacción y colaboración con organizaciones
sociales, instituciones públicas y pares internacionales. Sin embargo, también es ne cesario revisar las políticas de regionalización para facilitar una mayor articulación
con el sector privado y con otras universidades. Los fondos concursables regionales
son esenciales para el desarrollo de proyectos de extensión e investigación. Sin estos
recursos el alcance de las sedes regionales se reduciría drásticamente
We reviewed the university extension and research projects of the Chorotega Regional Campus (SRCH) of the National University of Costa Rica (UNA) to strengthen the interrelation between extension, research, and teaching and their integration with the region. The objective of this paper is to analyze how the university extension and research projects influence the internal and external integration of SRCH to accomplish the activities of the substantive university action. Twenty-eight extension and research projects were reviewed; SRCH ran them from 2012 to 2017. The review was conducted using a qualitative and exploratory meta analysis of the projects recorded in the UNA Academic Information System. The extension-research projects have encouraged a strong integration of UNA with communities and strategic allies, expanding the knowledge of diverse disciplines. The projects allow professors to improve their interaction and collaboration with social organizations, public institutions, and international peers. However, it is also necessary to review the regionalization policies to facilitate a greater integration with the private sector and other universities. The regional grant funds are essential to develop extension-research projects. Without such grants, the outreach of the regional campuses will be drastically reduced.
