National University of Cuyo

It includes the University Technological Institute which offers technical education in four other cities in Mendoza province.

At its foundation the university was composed of some existing higher education colleges, and new ones were incorporated.

Thereafter, the National University of Cuyo concentrated itself in Mendoza, in addition to a campus in Río Negro Province: the Balseiro Institute.

In recent research conducted by UNCuyo's students it was discovered how methods of cutting and preparing food can affect how many nutrients are retained in a meal.

The research also demonstrated that steaming instead boiling is preferable as vegetables retain more of their water-soluble vitamins.
