Fundación Ciencia & Vida is a nonprofit institution aimed at improving the social and economic development of Chile through scientific discovery, entrepreneurship and education in the biological sciences.
We have created a unique environment where scientists, entrepreneurs, students and communicators interact promoting scientific knowledge, discovery and development in the life sciences.
Since its creation, the Fundación has focused on the following goals:
- Building knowledge by carrying out intramural research and development programs. These activities are carried out in close collaboration with the private biotechnology sector
- Building capacities through the active training of students and our participation in the University undergraduate and Ph.D. programs in Biotechnology, Computational Biology and Immunology and Microbiology. These activities also include international Courses and Workshops and the development of educational programs on biotechnology for opinion leaders, politicians and the general public
- Building global resources through the establishment of effective networks with local and international scientists and centers of excellence. As part of our international collaboration activities, the Foundation annually organizes the "Science and Friendship: The North Meets the South" Program in which professors and doctoral students from the University of California at San Francisco carry out scientific activities with students and researchers from our Foundation and Associated Centers. Also, the Foundation has established a collaboration networks with UCSF in the USA and the Curie Institute in France.
- Building awareness for science and technology through unique outreach programs to opinion leaders and community at large and the development of multimedia and other educational products and programs in biotechnology and biomedicine for college and school students and the community at large. This is done through our Eureka Program.
- Building the framework for science and technology based-innovation through participation in governmental and private initiatives.
