= UTEC in the Territory =

The Regional Technological Institutes (RTIS) are the manifestation of UTEC in the territory. They are located on different cities in the country, based on the regional needs for higher education in each city. They are the centers that manage the activities in the region; in order to create a dialogue with the environment, through a strong decentralized profesional path. 

When UTEC was first created its main focus was to decentralize centers of higher education in the country from the capital. At the time all uruguayan students could mostly do if they wanted to pursue a college career was to move to Montevideo, and study there. This drastically changed with the arrival of UTEC. Its first institution was built in the southwest part of the country, Fray Bentos. Since then on, all RTIs built have been following the same path and have been designed to fit the communities they were built around.
