Reconocimiento internacional a Portal de Transparencia

The National University of Mar del Plata received recognition from the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) for its Transparency Portal, standing out as the sole Argentine institution honored at an Ibero-American ceremony. This award validates the effectiveness of proactive transparency, whereby the university proactively disseminates data on its management, academic structure, and commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, without waiting for formal requests. The recognition underscores the value of these tools in strengthening institutional trust and enabling free public access to key information. The portal’s success reflects the work of the Open Government Academic Network, which aims to ensure that educational institutions not only study transparency but also practice it internally. By sharing experiences and challenges with other universities in the region, the Mar del Plata case demonstrates that accountability is essential for modern academic governance. This approach breaks with the tradition of relying solely on passive audits, promoting a culture of openness that improves relationships with the community and external bodies. This initiative is significant for open data because it exemplifies how public entities can implement accessible and up-to-date data portals. Beyond mere regulatory compliance, the portal serves as a dynamic mechanism for participation, allowing users to consult existing information or request missing data, thereby driving continuous improvement. Furthermore, future plans to incorporate an Open Science section expand its scope, demonstrating that the open availability of academic data is essential for sustaining universities’ credibility and their contribution to sustainable development.
