The Universidad Nacional del Nordeste is a public, free and co-governed institution, founded on December 14, 1956 by means of Legislative Decree No. 22,299. The UNNE was created with headquarters in the provinces of Corrientes and Resistencia, where academic-scientific spaces that responded to the decentralized model of regional university institutions, such as the Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL) and the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán (UNT), already operated. Currently, the UNNE is made up of eleven Faculties and one Institute, distributed across three university campuses, two in the city of Corrientes and one in Resistencia. It also has a presence in the interior of Corrientes and Chaco through the operation of Regional University Centers (CRU) and numerous Classroom Extensions (EA). The UNNE is characterized by its contribution to the educational and sociocultural wealth of the Argentine Northeast through training, research, extension, linkage and transfer. Its institutional mission is structured around the search for solutions to the social problems that affect the region, as a territory that has historically been peripheral to economic and social development at the national level.
