Strategic Focus
By 2025, the MATHEMA-FIEM group will be recognized nationally and internationally for its academic and social projection in mathematical education at different educational levels. This will be evidenced by the number of scientific publication and their reach around the places that the publications will affect , as well as by the spaces for community relations, collaborative work and leadership in processes of social appropriation of knowledge.
