This paper evaluates scientific, technological and humanistic research at the Peruvian university system. The first part analyzes the insufficiency of critic mass as an explanation of the diminished positioning of the scientific outcomes of our universities at global and regional levels using RICYT as source data base. Besides, the low standard of graduates studies are identified as a causal factor of the former results, and the organizational deficiencies such as disarticulation and merchandising too. The second part focuses on epistemological obstacles with roots in colonial culture, including institutional inbreeding, categorical errors, rejection of: the experimental methodology, learning of diversity of mathematical language, research in basic sciences, rigorization of social sciences and using metric tools for assessment of the cognoscitive productivity. In short, this paper is claiming for finishing our bicentennial sustainable underdevelopment.
