The construction of the world's largest radio telescope began several years ago as part of the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO).

Two R&D initiatives proposed by the University of Santiago, Chile, were awarded the 2025 Technology Centers for Innovation Competition, organized by ANID, in which six proposals were selected nationwide.
The call for proposals funds the creation and strengthening of technology centers for innovation, with a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach, aimed at addressing challenges in the country's productive sectors. The aim is to contribute to sustainable development and strengthen the national ecosystem of science, technology, knowledge, and innovation (CTKI).

Following a year of collaborative research on greywater treatment, the GWR Project is pleased to announce the results of its joint efforts. This initiative unites researchers from three Chilean institutions—the University of Santiago de Chile, Andrés Bello University, and the University of Bío-Bío—alongside four international partner universities.  the University of Cantabria, Spain; the European Institute of Membranes, University of Montpellier, France; Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru.

As the GWR Project approaches its final stage, scientific team leaders and members convened both in-person and virtually. The meeting served to review accomplishments, identify areas for enhancement, and consolidate lessons learned from this initiative focused on the treatment and reuse of domestic gray water, which constitutes over 60% of typical household water consumption.

The University of Santiago, Chile, has officially approved its new Open Access and Research Data Management Regulations via Exempt Resolution No. 1661.
