In representation of the General Rector of UG, Dr. Luis Felipe Guerrero Agripino, UG's Academic Secretary, Dr. José Luis Lucio Martínez, expressed the interest to make an agreement that would allow the academic formation for the students and the realization of collaborations in research.

Likewise, he reinforced the importance of unifying topics of interest for both institutions, because it is fundamental to extend this collaboration –currently in Campuses Guanajuato and Salamanca—because in other locations, they are interested in what the Tsuruoka College handles such as Biomedical Engineering, Information, Environment, among others.
