This chapter describes undergraduate research (UR) in the Colombian higher education system, highlights the main characteristics of the cultural and administrative context of UR in Colombia, and presents the most important conditions for the implementation of UR and the general state of the integration of research in teaching. In order to understand the best and most relevant UR practices, the concepts associated with research are presented, including a historical overview concerning the tensions between “proper research” (“research in the strict sense”), “formative research” and “research training.” The chapter also shows governmental UR implementations such as the Networks of Research Seedbeds in Colombia. This emblematic project is among the most successful implementations of UR in the country.
