Our history
The Universidad Torcuato Di Tella was created on the pillars of two cornerstone organizations in Argentina: the SIAM factory (1910) and the Instituto Torcuato Di Tella (1958).
SIAM was the country’s largest industrial company of its time and also the first Argentine organization to have commercial presence in several Latin American countries and in Europe. Innovative and with a global vision, it produced over 250 different products, ranging from household appliances to gas pumps and cars.
The Instituto Torcuato Di Tella (1958) was home of the artistic vanguard of the late 50s through the 60s. Also center of outstanding research in the social sciences, the Instituto brought together some of Argentina’s most influential intellectuals and artists.
Inheriting the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit of the SIAM company and the vanguardist essence of the Instituto Torcuato Di Tella, the University produces basic and applied knowledge in an environment of pluralism, academic excellence and equal opportunity.
