AVINYA is a multidisciplinary and global seminar, coordinated by the Central University of Bihar (India) in the context of World Intellectual Property Day. Its aim is to discuss, analyze, and explore various aspects of intellectual property, addressing the discipline’s challenges from multiple perspectives. This year, the central theme of the event was “Intellectual Property and History: Tracing the Evolution of Ideas and Innovation.”

For the second consecutive year, the Faculty of Administration and Economics (FAE) at the University of Santiago, Chile (Usach), has received international recognition. This time, the honor comes from Elsevier, one of the world’s leading academic publishers, with the Best Empirical Academic Scientific Study Award.

Dr. Carlos Lizama, an academic in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (DMCC) at the University of Santiago, Chile, was recognized as one of the best mathematical scientists in Chile in the fourth edition of the international ranking compiled by Research.com, which recognizes researchers with the greatest impact in their discipline globally.

A significant discovery by Valeria Olivares, a physicist at the University of Santiago, and an international team of astronomers, published in Nature Astronomy, reveals a correlation between the surface brightness of hot and warm gas in the central filaments of galaxy clusters. 

This finding provides crucial insight into the origin of these gaseous filaments, the primary fuel source for supermassive black holes and star formation. 

Dr. Tomás Herrera Valenzuela is an academic at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Santiago de Chile, a specialist in sports science and leader of a line of research that crosses sports performance with the health impact of martial arts and combat sports. With more than ten years of research experience and international collaborations with renowned researchers in the field, his work has recently been recognized in two bibliometric studies published in indexed scientific journals.

The project “Collaboration and participatory governance system between establishments and reintegration programs for educational support,” led by Dr. Claudia Córdoba of the University's Faculty of Humanities' Department of Education, proposes using computer technology to facilitate interaction between schools and programs for the reentry and reintegration of primary and secondary students.

Recently, the Fondecyt 1240814 project, led by Dr. Marco Antonio Villalta Paucar, psychologist and academic of the School of Psychology of the University of Santiago de Chile, has given rise to a key document that gathers the reflections and proposals generated in the seminar “The New Public Education and the pedagogical challenges”, held on June 10, 2024 at Usach.

Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future (SAEF) is an international, interdisciplinary research program funded by the Australian government that seeks to understand in depth the impact of climate change on the ecosystems of the White Continent.

As part of this initiative, researchers are deployed to Antarctica each year to study in the field the environmental changes occurring in the polar region and in particular to analyze how mosses are adapting to the new conditions caused by climate change, especially those related to the increase in temperatures and UV-B radiation.

The promising results obtained by the research team of the Metallurgical Engineering Department led them to apply for a patent for a “Method for extraction of copper in solution from concentrates, with retention of iron in solids.”
