The PUCP leads the preference of the capital's business community according to the Lima Chamber of Commerce's (CCL) 2022 survey, which evaluates the sector's perceptions of different institutions and areas of our country.
Our University was chosen in first place in the 'Universities' category, together with Universidad del Pacífico (UP), according to the results of the XX Annual Survey of Executives conducted by the CCL. The study was commissioned to Consultoría Interdisciplinaria en Desarrollo (CID) and was applied to a total of 274 associated companies.
The recognition was received this Monday, January 23, by PUCP's Vice Rector for Research, Dr. Aldo Panfichi, and Centrum PUCP's General Director, Dr. Percy Marquina, both of whom expressed their gratitude and pride. "PUCP's value offer continues to be extraordinary and we are a very relevant university," commented Marquina.
"This is a recognition of the good things we have been doing over time, of the solidarity shown during the pandemic, and of the alliances between the private and public sectors. It is also an opportunity for the University to strengthen deeper and broader collaboration mechanisms with the business sector," said the director of Centrum PUCP.

Marquina commented that, although PUCP and Centrum have been chosen as the best university or graduate school in the past, the competition is getting stronger due to the appearance of new institutions.
"This is also a motivation and an opportunity to maintain leadership in a renewed, creative way and always hand in hand with the private sector," he added.
He pointed out that one of PUCP's objectives for the coming years, with respect to the business sector, is to ensure that different areas of our University expand their links with the sector; in other words, that these topics are not only related to Centrum PUCP. To this end, he made an invitation to continue trusting in our academic offerings.
"The rector's team is in charge of a series of activities aimed at defining the best strategy. Market research and consultancies have been carried out and will result in the formulation of a plan. We are on the right track," he said.
