✍️ The signing of the minutes of the Change of Command constitutes the legal and protocol act through which the transition of leadership at the University of the Armed Forces – ESPE is formalized. This solemn moment supports the delivery and reception of responsibilities, guaranteeing transparency, legitimacy and continuity in academic and institutional management.
In this context, under the direction of Crnl. Mauricio González, Rector of the University, projects his mission towards new challenges, while honoring with gratitude and recognition the legacy of Crnl. Víctor E. Villavicencio Álvarez, PhD., whose management was distinguished by his leadership, strategic vision and valuable contribution to institutional consolidation.
🤝 In this way, #ESPEU reaffirms its commitment to academic excellence and the strengthening of higher education at the service of the country.

The #ESPEU reaffirms its commitment to the integral well-being of its university community through the signing of an inter-institutional cooperation agreement with the Army Officers’ Recreation Center (C.R.O.E.), aimed at strengthening spaces for recreation, integration and joint development.

This agreement was signed by Crnl. Mauricio González, rector of the University of the Armed Forces ESPE, and Crnl. SP Jimmy Espinosa, president of the board of directors of the C.R.O.E. 🤝📄

The agreement promotes opportunities for pre-professional internships, linkage, academic activities and exclusive benefits, contributing to the comprehensive training of our students and the strengthening of strategic alliances.

Thanks to the joint work between the University of the Armed Forces ESPE and the Social Security Institute of the Armed Forces Issfa Ecuador, around 50 older adults completed a stage full of learning, effort and dreams fulfilled in the University of the Elderly Program. 🧓🏻👵🏻

Every smile, every applause and every look reflected something invaluable, the certainty that it is never too late to learn, grow and start again.

This significant event was attended by General José Ignacio Fiallo Vásquez, Director General of ISSFA, and Colonel Mauricio González, Rector of the University of the Armed Forces ESPE, who reaffirmed the commitment of both institutions to the inclusion, well-being and dignity of our elderly.

💚 Because knowledge has no age and learning transforms lives.

The Office of the Vice-Rector for Research, Innovation and Technology Transfer of the #ESPEU organized the Institutional Workshop for the Strengthening of the Research, Innovation and Knowledge Transfer System, with the aim of analyzing the current state of research and defining strategic actions to promote its development.

This space made it possible to identify gaps, opportunities for improvement and strengthen the articulation between institutional actors to consolidate scientific and technological growth

The Crnl. Mauricio González, Rector of the University of the Armed Forces – ESPE, expresses his most sincere congratulations to the String Ensemble Group of the University for its outstanding participation in the Solemn Session of the College of Civil Engineers.

Their talent, discipline and artistic quality enhance the name of our institution and reflect the cultural and educational commitment that characterises ESPE.
