On this subject, Cristian Sandoval, CONICYT COSOC counselor, as a graduate of an accredited college or university student, said: "belonging to the COSOC has allowed me to learn more about the functioning of CONICYT. Many times, one as a researcher criticizes the institution due to the lack of resources and delay in the time of response to requests. However, it is necessary to understand its overall performance, in order to understand where its flaws and at the same time, its virtues are. As a representative of graduate from accredited universities, I feel a great responsibility, but also a great commitment to work and participate in the guidelines the COSOC deems. I know that we will have good results at the end of our period."
Both the registration of candidates, and the vote will be housed in the voting system which CONICYT is available on its web site.
The formation of Councils of the Civil society seeks to create instances of rapprochement between the institution and the target groups of public policies, in order to adjust the implemented measures to their requirements and needs and be able to act jointly.
