A National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development (Fondecyt) grant has been awarded to Dr. Adolfo García, a cognitive neuroscientist focused on language and interpersonal communication. His project, ‘Digital speech and language markers of extrasylvian dysfunction in neurodegeneration,’ seeks to identify specific digital indicators within speech and language that can reveal brain dysfunction associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

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.

Dr. Enrique Marinao-Artigas, Director of the Master’s in Marketing and a faculty member in the Department of Administration at the Faculty of Administration and Economics (FAE) at the University of Santiago, Chile (Usach), has achieved a significant milestone in academic publishing. He, along with Dr. Karla Barajas-Portas (Anahuac University, Mexico) and Dr. Leslier Valenzuela-Fernández (University of Chile), has published a compelling article in the prestigious Review of Managerial Science, a Q1 journal in the Management category of the SSCI index.
