The Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (FCNM) at ESPOL reaffirmed its commitment to developing future generations of professionals by organizing, in collaboration with the Ecuadorian Statistical Society, the 2nd Ecuadorian Statistics Olympiad. This academic event brought together 552 participants from 54 schools across different provinces, fostering interest in data science among young people throughout the country.

Our students are making their mark in research! Walter Guaño Vinueza, Alexsander Játiva Macías, and Jesús Urrucsaca Guaman received special distinctions during the Cuartiles Mayores ceremony. This prestigious event recognizes the most outstanding achievements in scientific research within the ESPOL community, and this year's edition honored work carried out during 2024.

Internationally Recognized Faculty! On October 29, five professors from ESPOL’s Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (FCNM) received the International Professional Engineering Educator Registry (iPEER) certification, a distinction that recognizes their excellence and professional trajectory as engineering educators on a global scale.

On August 27, four faculty members from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (FCNM), along with our Dean, were recognized for their outstanding work as ESPOL scientific spokespersons.

Following their victory in the FCNM Mathematics Competitions 2025, students Martín Peñaherrera (IPAC) and Issac Ruales (Logos Academy) were selected to represent Ecuador at the 40th Ibero-American Mathematical Olympiad, held in Temuco, Chile, from September 22 to 29, 2025.

Two outstanding Chemical Engineering students, Keyler Peñafiel and Jhon Jairo Valladolid, were named the winners of this edition of the 5 Minutes Pitch competition. Their innovative proposal—a biopesticide and biorepellent made from American Cedar leaves—captivated the judges and secured first place among six finalist teams.
