Usach to Lead Núcleo Milenio Research on High-Ability Students in Chile

"In recent years, the educational landscape in Chile has been redefined by student diversity. This includes a broad spectrum of learners, ranging from those requiring specialized support to high capacity students with advanced abilities. To address these gaps, the system must move toward inclusive pedagogy and flexible frameworks capable of responding to unique learning processes and student backgrounds."

Usach Strengthens National Scientific Presence through Espacio Ciencia

Open science has firmly established itself as one of the most significant transformations in the global scientific system. It actively promotes the accessibility, reusability, and transparency of publicly funded research results, greatly strengthening academic collaboration and the democratization of knowledge.

Currently, this essential vision has been promoted by the National Research and Development Agency (ANID) through its Open Access Policy, which seeks to have all Chilean universities make their research publications available in interoperable repositories.

Efficient Green Hydrogen Synthesis: Research Develops New Production Method with Domestic Technology

Green hydrogen has established itself as one of the fundamental energy pillars for tackling the climate crisis and advancing global decarbonization. Unlike fossil fuels, its production is clean; when consumed in energy processes, its only by-product is water. Furthermore, hydrogen holds three times more energy than conventional fuels. Recent research indicates that hydrogen produced by electrolysis using renewable energy could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by between 50% and 90% compared to fossil fuel methods without carbon capture.
