Abstract
The importance of the contributions to society in the production of new knowledge by academia is
unquestionable, but there is a great difference between universities in Latin American countries and
those in the so-called first world countries. Among the differentiating gaps, in addition to the structural
elements, the need for the social appropriation of knowledge and strengthening of scientific culture
should be emphasized, and this is not possible without the communication of science, technology and
innovation. Hence the interest of the present work, which evaluates the actions, during the pandemic,
of the radio program I-100, of the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil (UCSG), to maintain the
process of communication of scientific research results of the institution and the socialization of
knowledge. A mixed methodological approach was applied in the study and aims to analyze the actions
implemented to maintain, during the pandemic, the communication of research results of the UCSG
through the university radio program I-100, incorporating new media and different productive routines,
following the conditions of isolation imposed by the pandemic and trying to use as much as possible the
digital spaces also enhanced in conditions of social isolation.
Keywords
