Two of our partners are part of the Frontier Science Program 2022-2024 of the Chilean Academy of Sciences
The Chilean Academy of Sciences, in order to recognize the excellence and potential of young scientists in different areas of science and link them to the activities of the Academy, called the VI Contest of the Frontier Science Program, 2022-2024. The competition was open to young scientists from any discipline of natural and exact sciences, who had to be under 40 years of age by November 30, 2021. Our partners Valentina Parra and Ricardo Soto Rifo were selected and are part of a total of 15 throughout the country.
The main objectives of the Frontier Science Program are to stimulate interdisciplinary scientific discussion, the organization of lecture cycles, the creation of links and the development of joint initiatives by new generations of Chilean scientists and to promote contact with scientists who participate in similar programs in other countries.
