LA FUNDACIÓN CIENCIA & VIDA CUMPLE 15 AÑOS INNOVANDO

Para celebrarlo, queremos invitarle a una fiesta de ciencia y amistad, en la que conversaremos con destacados científicos, emprendedores en biotecnología e inversionistas de capital de riesgo, y expertos en difusión y educación científica. Todos ellos han sido clave para implementar nuestro atajo hacia California y han inspirado nuestra visión: Ciencia 360º, una estrategia para el desarrollo.

La ciencia y la investigación científica son fundamentales para alcanzar un mejor futuro para Chile, jugando un rol clave en nuestro desarrollo social y económico. Nos abren las puertas de entrada a la economía basada en el conocimiento y a la construcción de una sociedad más racional y equitativa.
