Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias y Tecnologías

The Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias, y Tecnologías (Spanish for National Council of Humanities, Sciences, and Technologies; abbreviated CONAHCYT) was Mexico's entity in charge for the promotion of science and technology from 1970 to 2024. As a federal agency of Mexico, it was responsible for setting government policies on research and technological development, establishing public research centers, and funding scientific laboratories, research projects and postgraduate studies. In 2025, President Claudia Sheinbaum promoted the agency to the level of secretariat (i.e. ministry or department): the Secretaría de Ciencia, Humanidades, Tecnología e Innovación.
