The Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) is the heir to the Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico, created on September 21, 1551. Currently, it is the largest and most important university in Latin America. Its primary purpose is to be at the service of Mexico and to train professionals useful to society, to organize and carry out research, mainly on national conditions and problems, and to extend as widely as possible the benefits of culture.
Since 1929, the UNAM has preserved an extremely extensive and varied cultural heritage, which is conformed of invaluable movable, immovable and intangible assets, of a historical, national and world nature. Its heritage is preserved, cataloged, researched and disseminated by different university institutions – museums, faculties, research institutes and schools – that safeguard it. Additionally, the management of the collections includes academic and teaching production in different areas of knowledge.
One of these entities is the Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas, organizer of the CIDOC 2023 MX Conference. This institute was created on February 20, 1935 and since then, it has developed research projects in areas of knowledge such as: Indigenous Art in America, Viceregal Art, Modern Art, Contemporary Art, World Art, Art Theory and Studies on techniques and materials.
The Postgraduate Unit of the National Autonomous University of Mexico brings together master's, specialisation and doctoral studies in the various areas of knowledge taught by our University. On the occasion of the CIDOC 2023 Congress "Frontiers of Knowledge. Museums, documentation and linked data", its magnificent facilities will host the workshops and activities of the subcommittees and working groups of the International Committee on Documentation, to be held from 22 to 24 September this year.
The Conference will be held in the Cultural Zone of the UNAM, where two important entities for the university heritage are located.

Another is the Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo, created in 2008 to musealization world contemporary art in Mexico.
