Along the way, we should celebrate our achievements that show the goals we\u2019ve met, but if we truly aspire to greatness, we can always raise the bar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not simply enough to get by or even to be the best. What\u2019s important is that we keep challenging ourselves. This philosophy, which I fully subscribe to, is what <a href=\"https:\/\/tec.mx\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tec de Monterrey <\/a>is all about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our institution hasn\u2019t settled for only being very good at conveying knowledge. Several decades ago, the Tec launched a strategy to <strong>improve the educational process<\/strong> through a <a href=\"https:\/\/tec.mx\/en\/research\">research platform.<\/a> Science is not only fundamental to generating knowledge and developing critical and innovative thinking, but also to contributing to the development of Mexico. <strong>Research is the only avenue for generating real impact instead of merely dreaming of a better future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tec de Monterrey is undergoing momentous change. We\u2019ve decided to transform ourselves, focus our efforts, and work in a multidisciplinary way to really contribute to <strong>tackling the big challenges that our country and humanity itself are facing.<\/strong> To do so, we\u2019ve focused on conducting cutting-edge research to demonstrate that Mexico is also capable of taking part in innovative solutions at an international level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, we inaugurated two interdisciplinary centers: <a href=\"https:\/\/tec.mx\/en\/institute-obesity-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Institute for Obesity Research <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/tec.mx\/en\/institute-advanced-materials-sustainable-manufacturing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Institute of Advanced Materials,<\/a> which complement the system that we had already begun to outline by creating <a href=\"https:\/\/tec.mx\/en\/ife\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Institute for the Future of Education, <\/a>the Femsa Biotechnology Center, and many other high-level areas where our seasoned researchers work. We\u2019ve created this ecosystem to execute our mission in critical fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to this watershed moment for the Tec and our desire to contribute to a better future, we want to build bridges not only with society and industry but also with decision makers. This is where <em><strong>TecScience<\/strong><\/em> comes in: a publishing platform that we\u2019ve developed internally to inform people, in a rigorous and innovative way, about the research projects being conducted at our university.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This media outlet will also aim to inform a broader audience about scientific affairs by providing information that is clear, easy to understand, and uses a visual design that is attractive and even educational. <strong>Here, <em>TecScience<\/em> readers can learn about high-impact projects that seek to improve people\u2019s lives,<\/strong> hear inspiring stories about men and women who are passionate about doing science, and find answers to many of their everyday questions about the challenges humanity faces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcome to <em>TecScience<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guillermo Torre Amione, TecSalud Dean and Vice President for Research, reflects on the watershed moment that research has taken at Tec de Monterrey.
