The Fab Lab Veritas is part of The Research Center for Innovation (CINNO), initiative of the VERITAS University that aims to become the national and Latin American benchmark in the development, teaching, use and design of technologies applied to art, design, science and creative education in Latin America, marking leadership in the makers movement.
This center, whose idea emerged from a concern posed by VERITAS, supports students in the different design programs. It seeks to integrate and test new teaching strategies for the implementation of technological innovation and experimentation in existing careers within the STEM context (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and STEAM (integrates Arts as the fifth area of interest) and open education programs to promote ownership of technology and entrepreneurship.
Along the expected final products, there is a collaborative research program on topics such as the Internet of Things, publishing of tutorials, technical books, indexed publications, open online courses and a platform for the development of local enterprises for hardware acceleration.
The CINNO is an independent unit of theoretical and applied research seeking funding through research funds and selling services. It seeks to establish partnerships with other public and private universities, public institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and private companies.
