The Museum of the Universidad de Antioquia (MUUA) and the Cisneros Fontanals Foundation for the Arts (CIFO) present an exhibition of emerging artists featuring a performance and installation that challenge traditional views of the female body and territory. Chilean artist Paula Coñoepan Acuña showcases El secreto del ají (The Secret of Chili Pepper) on the museum’s ground floor until April 25, 2025.

Nearly half of UdeA’s 3,200 graduate students receive tuition exemptions, while over 200 benefit from scholarships and forgivable loans. The university provides these opportunities to help professionals further their academic careers. 

Experts and students from the Universidad de Antioquia are tackling the intricate task of restoring a brown incised-style funerary urn discovered on El Volador Hill, Medellín, in the 1990s. Shattered into hundreds of pieces and worn by time, the urn demands precise reconstruction, making the process an accurate test of skill and dedication. 

The PhD in Sustainability and the PhD in Education and Health are two new advanced programs at UdeA designed to foster transdisciplinary learning and collaboration across academic units. The first examines sustainability from diverse perspectives, while the second breaks new ground as a pioneering initiative in Latin America. Enrollment is now open for their first cohort, beginning in the second half of 2025! 

Terms like gosthear, emotional responsibility, red flags, gaslighting, anxiety, narcissism, and ADHD have become common in the vocabulary of those who engage with mental health content on social media. Caring about mental and emotional well-being is a positive habit, but the issue arises when learning about these topics shifts into self-diagnosis. 

UdeA offers a program that helps people with intellectual disabilities engage with university life. Through Uincluye, more than 60 young people have trained at the Alma Mater. This initiative has also introduced a new cultural space in the city. Café Uincluye welcomes visitors to downtown Medellín with a diverse selection of locally sourced coffee while creating job opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities. 

Running or jogging, especially in short races, has grown significantly in popularity over recent decades. Many now see it as a trend, attracting athletes and enthusiasts—some for its physical and mental benefits, others for the social connections it fosters. However, as more people take up the sport, more athletes experience injuries. This rise stems partly from the misconception that running is merely about moving one foot after another. In reality, professional guidance and preventive care play a crucial role. 

In 2019, researchers from the Universidad de Antioquia set out to elevate the role of coffee growers, redefine the focus from productivity to competitiveness, and promote sustainable peace. Their project, celebrated at the Ministry of National Education’s Night of Excellence 2024, became a groundbreaking initiative in socially appropriating knowledge. Today, with support from the General Royalties System, it has improved the lives of more than 260 people across 13 villages in Ituango. 

The Orinoquía, a region rich in biodiversity, features savannas and grasslands in its northernmost area. Fires frequently occur during the dry season. This article examines the meteorological conditions that drive fire activity in South America’s third-largest hydrographic basin. 

Artificial intelligence (AI) in archaeology integrates traditional techniques with modern technology to refine processes and accelerate analysis, giving researchers more time to rethink historical interpretations.
