Chile and Germany Forum: Building bridges for collaboration on research and academic exchange

The Chile-Germany Forum was created in 2023, in an effort to strengthen international academic cooperation between institutions of higher education in Chile and Germany. It seeks to promote joint work for science-driven innovation and broaden opportunities for academic development for younger researchers.

The first version was held in Santiago. This year the second version took place in Berlin between June 16 and 18, specifically at TU Berlin, one of the most important technical universities in Germany. A total of 117 attendants, including researchers, university authorities and staff from all seven institutions, participated in this academic forum, where key issues for local and global development were discussed, such as climate change and territorial studies, clean energy, global health, democracy and antiracist education, to mention a few examples.

“We expect more collaborative work, involving the implementation of joint research and publication, along with student exchanges”. María Angélica Fellenberg, Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies.
