The Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) signed a General Collaboration Agreement with Universidad Anáhuac México to jointly develop projects focused on innovation, research, technological development, comprehensive education, social initiatives, sports, culture, and the exchange of experiences.

During the ceremony, IPN Director General Arturo Reyes Sandoval highlighted that this alliance will help optimize resources in strategic areas and shape the future of both academic communities through academic mobility, dual-degree programs, social action and entrepreneurship with real impact, shared use of facilities, and the active participation of Polytechnic students in the Anáhuac Center for Mexican Humanism.

“A fundamental aspect of this meeting is that we are opening the door to the formalization of a Specific Collaboration Agreement on Student Mobility. This instrument will serve as the foundation for our students to move between both institutions and enrich their education through diverse and complementary experiences that only these types of academic networks can offer,” Reyes Sandoval explained.

He reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to continuing to build alliances that benefit higher education in Mexico and stated that the combination of capabilities and the willingness to collaborate are essential to strengthening the mission embodied in the IPN motto: “La Técnica al Servicio de la Patria.”

Meanwhile, the rector of Universidad Anáhuac México, Cipriano Sánchez García, emphasized that the signing represents more than an agreement between institutions; it is a gesture of mutual trust and a shared commitment to the future of Mexican youth.

“The Instituto Politécnico Nacional and Universidad Anáhuac México share the conviction that education cannot be limited to the transmission of knowledge. It must be a concrete way of transforming reality, because education touches people’s lives. It transforms individuals and families, opens horizons, awakens vocations, and generates commitment. When two institutions with this conviction come together, collaboration—not competition—should be the natural outcome,” he stated.
