Research is a substantive function of universities, and its revitalization requires different strategies. Considering the presence of students throughout the Colombian territory, the UNAD has exciting potential to articulate teaching and research to conduct wide-ranging fieldwork, but this potential has not yet been sufficiently taken advantage of. In this context, the objective of the work presented was to develop an initiative to stimulate Unadista research. Methodologically, a network with professors from UNAD and external institutions was structured, a training process was conducted, several projects were proposed, and courses were organized to conduct field work through the application of surveys that allowed the collection of data from multiple Colombian companies. As a result, the initiative "Opening the Faucets of Unadista Research" (AGIU) was developed, through which several projects have already been conducted and different research products have been obtained, including articles, presentations, technological development products, training of human capital, among others. The value of the work presented lies in the results obtained, the strengthening of research at UNAD, the scientific training of teachers and the teaching-research articulation in which both students and researchers have benefited. For this reason, the AGIU initiative received recognition as a good practice at UNAD.
