The closing ceremony for the first version of the Matemática en Ruta Program took place at the San Luis Elementary School in Maipú. The event served to symbolically deliver the Evolutionary Learning Networks (REAM) and promote the use of Elementary Teaching Situations, marking the completion of the program’s inaugural phase.

This initiative, jointly led by Usach and Mineduc, was established in 2023. It directly addresses the school system's urgent need to reduce learning gaps, particularly those exacerbated by the pandemic.

To foster international cooperation and address global health challenges between Chile and India, the event titled “Talks on Integrative Medicine: Yoga & Ayurveda: A Medical-Scientific System Originating in India for Mental and Organic Balance in Daily Life” was successfully held.

With the aim of strengthening strategic collaboration between academia and defense institutions, the University of Santiago, Chile, through its Vice-Rector's Office for Research, Innovation, and Creation (VRIIC), presented its institutional model for R&D&I&E at an innovation seminar held at the Chilean Air Force (FACH) Space Directorate.

The event brought together authorities, researchers, and professionals from both institutions to share experiences and explore opportunities for technological, strategic, and productive collaboration.

Hosting the tenth Annual Conference of the International Association for the Philosophy of Time (IAPT) from July 7-9, the University of Santiago, Chile, established itself as a global hub for the subject. The three-day event, which took place at the Center for Postgraduate Studies and Continuing Education (Cepec), gathered leading specialists to explore the nature, perception, and physics of time—an age-old enigma that has captivated human thought for centuries.

¿“Científicas” 2025: Highlighting Women in Science and Fostering STEM Diversity

On July 24, the Faculty of Chemistry and Biology at the University of Santiago, Chile, in partnership with the Science Up Consortium, inaugurated the 2025 edition of “Científicas.” This series of talks and experiences aims to highlight the role of women in science and promote vocations in STEM fields from a diversity perspective.

As part of the Teaching Innovation Project, “Virtual mentoring platform for women entering the telecommunications technology career: An inclusive and collaborative solution to support professional development and gender equality in the technology industry,” a report was developed for Professor Patricio Ayala’s Management course.

Each month, director Ivo Saviane hosts a “director's dinner” at the La Silla Observatory. Recently, he invited Jacqueline Morey, executive director of Planetario Usach, to participate. The event provides an opportunity for the European Southern Observatory (ESO) team to learn about the work of scientists, artists, and astronomers. 

The ESUS team was founded 15 years ago by former student Gonzalo Pacheco, who had the foresight to create a solar car when discussions about new energy matrices were just beginning. From that initial model, four more were developed until 2018. Then, new generations embraced the challenge, adapting to the evolving needs of the industry by designing electric cars, which opened the door to participating in "Formula SAE." In this new context, the ESUS team took on the demanding task of designing a racecar, complete with all the intricate mechanical and electrical components involved.

With the aim of continuing to strengthen the educational ties between the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Santiago, Chile, and healthcare centers in the Metropolitan Region, the official inauguration of the new student residence module at the Til Til Community Hospital took place on July 30.

In the first semester of 2025, a team of fifth-year students transformed a 1997 Suzuki Super Carry into a mobile carpentry workshop. This vehicle, owned by architect and former professor Willy Muñoz’s father, is destined to bring hands-on learning to children in Villarrica and the surrounding Araucanía Region.
