Systematisation of Experiences (SE) is a methodology originating and widely used in Latin America, which allows for the generation of knowledge from practice. This article seeks to contribute to demonstrating the value of SE for researchers who legitimate experiences and practices as sources of scientific knowledge production, and to recognizing the potential of SE to complement processes addressed through Action Research (AR). To this end, the main characteristics of the SE methodology are presented and the similarities, differences, and complementarities with AR are analysed. Likewise, the systematisation of a strategically planned participatory territorial development process is presented, which takes place in a medium-sized municipality in the southwest of the Province of Buenos Aires (Argentina). This case demonstrates the capacity of SE to generate collective learning, strengthen local capacities, and improve the future approach to similar experiences in other territories
