Las preferencias alimentarias han evolucionado en los últimos años, reflejándose en una creciente demanda por opciones de platos más saludables, sostenibles y con menor desperdicio de productos. 

En respuesta a esta tendencia, restaurantes, casinos y otros servicios alimentarios han comenzado a diversificar sus preparaciones, pero considerando otras variables como la planificación de las minutas, los costos operacionales y la logística, entre otros. En este contexto, la tecnología se ha convertido en una gran aliada clave para abordar estos desafíos.

On March 12, the Directorate of Scientific and Technological Research (Dicyt) of the University of Santiago de Chile held the talk “Mobilizing knowledge for impact on public policy,” an event that featured the presentation and dissemination of the Proyecto Vincula innitiative to the academic community, a collaborative platform that seeks to connect researchers and researchers with legislators to develop public policies based on scientific evidence.

Chile is one of the world leaders in the aquaculture industry, positioning itself among the main producers of species such as Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout, which are highly demanded in international markets. However, for the industry to be able to guarantee productivity and competitiveness at a global level, it must meet high standards of health and breeding of salmonids. It is therefore essential to prevent and treat viral infections that affect the health of the fish, which jeopardize the stability and quality of production.

In order to identify new opportunities for joint work in research and development (R&D) projects, the Directorate of Technological Management (DGT) of the Vice Rector's Office for Research, Innovation and Creation (Vriic) organized a meeting that brought together researchers from the University of Santiago de Chile and executives from the technology company CoreDevX.
