The Arturo Jauretche National University (Spanish: Universidad Nacional Arturo Jauretche; UNAJ) is a public university in Florencio Varela, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.

The university was founded on December 29, 2009, when the Argentine National Congress approved Law 26.576, which contained its creation.[2] It was named after Arturo Jauretche, a political thinker of the Radical Civic Union and later a prominent Peronist.[3]

Campus

The university is located in former YPF Research Labs inaugurated in 1942. The labs were the most advanced in Latin America by the time of their inauguration, 550 people worked in them and many scientific breakthroughs happened there, such as the creation of Elaion, the most popular motor oil of Argentina. The labs closed in 1994 and two decades later, YPF permitted the university to use the building free of charge in order to accommodate the university.[4]

In 2012, the educational center received the National SCA/CICoP Prize awarded by the Argentine Central Society of Architects (Sociedad Central de Arquitectos) for the category "Restoration and Enhancement of Works over 1,000 square meters."[5]

In 2022, the university benefited from funding for three infrastructure projects through the Complementary Works Program of the National Ministry of Education: the installation of a fire suppression system in the Mosconi Building, a clinical simulation center, and improvements to perimeter lighting and security.[6]

The university consists of three institutes: the Institute of Engineering and Agronomy, the Institute of Health Sciences and the Institute of Social Sciences and Administration. They provide several courses such as Industrial Engineering, Medicine, Biochemistry, Economics and Business.[7]
