In a country that demands urgent solutions address the various problems you have, the university plays a key role in the process of finding solutions to them. From formative research, the teacher may provide strategies to engage students to research advances themselves, instilling the culture of research since the early years of undergraduate training.

The industrialized countries base their development in research, is a truth of rest, the generation of new knowledge allows economic progress, political, social and cultural development, building inclusive and democratic societies.

Enabling these purposes, which by others are established in our Constitution, should be part of the investigative work that takes place within higher education institutions, through the Seed Research. This concept comes to Colombia a few years ago, the early nineties, and inserted as the slang term college bound from the arrival of Colciencias and the establishment of a public policy of science and technology to bring together national academic community through research centers and scientific groups. With it, comes tamibén reflection within the university on the need to involve students in research processes and in turn give them tools to independently pursue research processes in the subjects they choose, is how it gives start the construction process of seed research, which as its name implies, are the first steps to build a research culture, seeds that will bloom in the future bear fruit cinetífico development and technological level, as calls for the country.

The rise of the figure remains in the area of \u200b\u200bthe University Senate, and begins to look around and envision a community networking, which allows the enrichment of seed research experiences and in turn the confrontation ideas with academic peers. Thus was born from a little less than ten years REDCOLSI, the Colombian Network of Seed Research in the city of Cali, at the initiative of universities in the region and each year presents regional and national meetings to present research projects students linked to seed from different universities.

The promotion of such initiative seeks to build scientific community, which eventually will be responsible for proposing solutions for social development and its implementation in the local, regional and national levels.

The invitation is open to both teachers and learners make proposals for formation of seed research, which creates great opportunities at the academic level in their specific knowledge and cultural level as a mechanism for contribution to building development in the country.
