Resumen

El objetivo fue analizar las tecnologías e infraestructura en las universidades latinoamericanas para apoyar el logro de los ODS. El enfoque metodológico fue cualitativo; se recurrió a una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura y a una encuesta en la que participaron 24 universidades latinoamericanas de seis países, que fueron seleccionadas mediante un muestreo por bola de nieve. Los principales hallazgos fueron que la inversión institucional en nuevas tecnologías e infraestructura orientada al logro de los ODS es limitada y el grado de avance insuficiente. Los esfuerzos exiguos de la comunidad universitaria para fomentar directa e indirectamente el logro de los ODS también fueron evidentes. La principal conclusión es que las universidades requieren de la coordinación de sus recursos (físicos y humanos) para llegar a ser actores estratégicos para fomentar el logro de los ODS.
