The National University of San Martín (Universidad Nacional de San Martín or UNSAM) was set up in 1992 and officially began giving classes in 1994. This Argentine public national university is mostly located in the city of San Martín, a province of Buenos Aires. Its main site is Campus Miguelere, which is 8.5 hectares in area.

It is built around former railway lines and train repair shop buildings and it has become a privileged space for teaching, research, cultural development and social interaction among members of UNSAM’s community.

It has developed strong, research-led partnerships with a range of leading universities in the world. UNSAM has signed nearly 400 international agreements, which have resulted in various research projects, as well as students and teachers’ exchange programmes. The university is constantly open to new partnerships based on academic exchanges, teaching, joint research projects, special programmes and innovation with universities and institutions.
