This initiative entails designing, implementing, and analyzing research strategies and impact measurement to assess the value and effectiveness of educational projects and innovations. These impact evaluations utilize various scientific methodological approaches and are conducted externally with objectivity to yield valid and reliable results. In addition, the studies are tailored to the needsand implementation timelines of the stakeholders. By measuring and assessing impact, the university community can make evidence-based decisions that drive transformative learning outcomes and positively influence students, alumni, and society.

During the 2023 cycle, 7 reports were generated compiling 12 studies conducted in collaboration with 6 strategic areas of the Tecnológico de Monterrey.
