| Governments and societies must work to recognize the main values and principles that underpin the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, its international and national precedents, and subnational processes, promoting contributions to the guidelines and methodological suggestions that allow the incorporation of the Sustainable Development Goals (ODS) as a planning and management tool at the local level. Universities and science organizations in the Latin American context have an important role to play in the development of the Sustainable Development goals. Together with the extension of culture, we must not forget that talking about scientific and technological development requires in a special way understanding education as a strategic element of social, economic and research policies. Latin American countries perceive, with increasing intensity, that revaluing education is relevant based on the relationship model that is proposed for the integration of Latin America. Taking into account the ongoing globalization process, the climate crisis, the post-pandemic, the prevailing economic conditions and social variables, scientific-technological development constitutes an objective circumstance. The academy must play a decisive role tending to socialize knowledge, which is essential to address the different problems within the framework of the complexities of today's world. Socializing knowledge means producing it collectively in organizations, communicating it, disseminating it and making it reach those who can benefit from that knowledge, but we also require global citizenship and global ethics.
