diufro

Eighteen evaluating proposal projects and nineteen research initiation projects are the result of the latest competitions verdict promoted by the Research Division.

It´s a total of 41 projects of the six Universidad de La Frontera faculties that want to establish the basis for new research areas and, at the same time, to increase the scientific productivity of the institution.

For the research director, Dr. Paula Cartes, the number of approved projects this year affirms the researchers´ interest to keep working – in the case of the ones who already pursued their career in this area – and, at the same time, it proves that the young researchers are searching for ways of showing their scientific work.

“As always, we are very happy and proud of our researchers´ work. We are willing to provide all the support that is necessary for our university to keep moving forward and develop us in terms of research, and the historical project competition DIUFRO is a guarantee for that.”

One of the recommendations of the Research Division in order to start with the proposals is that the researchers have to start with the paperwork for the Scientific Ethics Committee for being able to work within the established deadlines.
