A group of students and academics from Arturo Prat University conducted a research stay as part of the FOVI 240220 project, “Applications of Advanced Materials in Sustainable Renewable Energy and Innovations in Water Treatment: a collaboration between Arturo Prat University (UNAP), the University of Santiago de Chile (Usach), and the University of Saskatchewan (Canada).
To advance scientific collaboration between Brazil and Chile, Dr. Robinson Cruz, Research Manager at Brazil’s Hercílio Randon Institute (IHR), visited the Electroceramic Materials Laboratory at the Faculty of Chemistry and Biology, led by Dr. Domingo Ruiz.
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.

Agricultural crops are permanently exposed to infections caused by dangerous phytopathogenic agents, which can seriously damage plants and even cause losses of vegetable crops.
One of the most harmful phytopathogenic bacteria for agriculture is the species Pseudomonas syringae, which affects kiwifruit, cherry, plum, tomato and bean plantations, among others. As a result of this infection, there are considerable losses in production and harvests, implying millions of dollars in economic losses for the industry.
Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future (SAEF) is an international, interdisciplinary research program funded by the Australian government that seeks to understand in depth the impact of climate change on the ecosystems of the White Continent.
As part of this initiative, researchers are deployed to Antarctica each year to study in the field the environmental changes occurring in the polar region and in particular to analyze how mosses are adapting to the new conditions caused by climate change, especially those related to the increase in temperatures and UV-B radiation.
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.
