University of Chile

Chile (Latin America)

Located in the capital city of Santiago, the 178-year-old University of Chile is the country’s oldest and main institution of higher education. In teaching and research, the University of Chile develops about 30% of all scientific and technological research at the national level. It is an autonomous, public, and national university. Since its founding in 1842, the University of Chile’s faculty members and its alumni have been critical in developing new laws, new institutions, and the frame of Chile’s social, political, economic, artistic, and cultural system. The university, during this period, has had a strong influence in other Latin American countries by training their human resources. Among its first Presidents were the Venezuelan humanist and jurist Professor Andrés Bello (1843-1865) and the Polish scientist & mineralogist Professor Ignacio Domeyko (1867-1883). Two Chilean alumni were Nobel Prize winners in Literature – Gabriela Mistral (1945) and Pablo Neruda (1971) – and nineteen distinguished alumni have been elected Presidents of the Republic. The University of Chile has an annual budget of approximately US$ 1.2 billion.
