N2 - The research analyzed the evolution of female participation in university research between 2012 and 2025, based on institutional records of publications. The results showed a sustained increase in female authors, going from 29.4% to 46.8%, with significant differences between faculties: while Communications exceeded 50%, Engineering and Sciences maintain much lower growth levels. The Chi-square test confirmed that these gaps are structural and not random. Mixed co-authorship predominates (62.6%), although there is an encouraging growth in teams made up only of women (10.3% in 2025). The projection indicates that the university would reach parity in 2031, with delays in STEM (Engineering and Science) areas until 2038 and 2041. The progress made is remarkable, but challenges persist that demand differentiated policies, inclusive financing, and mentoring networks that strengthen equity in academic research.
