The Program’s primary objective is to strengthen connections between UAI and Harvard through innovative research projects in all disciplines, including but not limited to technology, design, humanities, science, engineering, health, public policy, business, and education.

This Alliance aimed to discuss and share experiences, best practices, and difficulties within the universities, in order to increase the number of women in academia and give greater visibility to the contribution they made, inspired and nurtured by Harvard’s Faculty Development & Diversity Office.

With the support of a DRCLAS Collaborative Research Grant, Professor Stephanie Jones and her dedicated research team at The Ecological Approaches to Social Emotional Learning Lab (EASEL Lab) had embarked on a transformative journey.

Antarctica  is integral to the global climate system, serving as a critical study area for comprehending and addressing climate change. In September 2019, the Chile Office was instrumental in establishing the first permanent Chilean Antarctica exhibition.

A K-12 pioneering collaborative initiative that seeks to support educational communities in Latin America with learning development content, resources, guidance in digital formats and training activities.

The Forum brings scholars, practitioners, and opinion leaders for high-caliber academic debate as Chile seeks to build a more inclusive, participatory, and responsive system. 

The Coalition was aimed at addressing and improving complex challenges in mental health, with a particular focus on the women and children of two municipalities in Chile: Maipú and Peñalolén. Hoping to expand its coverage and preventative-focused action, the Coalition was made up of many collaborative institutions and notable members.

Since 2011, the Chile Office has led Recupera Chile, an initiative to improve living conditions, well-being, and productivity in coastal communities devastated by the 2010 earthquake and tsunami. 

For over 15 years and more, Chile has been a rich source of inspiration, learning, and discovery for Harvard University. To commemorate the 15th anniversary, Paula Molina, a Harvard Nieman Fellow, interviewed Harvard scientists and researchers.

Under the leadership of its faculty co-chairs, the Andes & Southern Cone Faculty Committee leads the vision, priorities and projects related to the region undertaken by the program, both in Cambridge and Santiago.  

The Advisory Group is comprised of senior leaders from across disciplines and sectors that act as stewards of strong ties between Harvard and the region that provide vision, advice, and support to the Regional Office and its initiatives.
