With his project, “Development and Validation of an Ultra-Fast Modular Charger for Electric Vehicles with Simultaneous, Priority, and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Charging Functions,” Dr. Matías Díaz of the Department of Electrical Engineering was one of just 11 researchers nationwide to receive funding from the National Research and Development Agency (ANID) under the R&D Advanced Technologies 2025 call. This highly selective grant focused on critical areas, including fair decarbonization, climate resilience, digital transformation, and diversification of the productive matrix.

On July 30, a significant milestone was reached in the decontamination of the Metropolitan Region, specifically in the municipality of Tiltil, with the 1,000th replacement of a wood-burning stove. The initiative, part of Anglo American's emissions compensation plan for its Los Bronces Integrado mining project, replaces old stoves with efficient heating and cooling equipment. The University of Santiago de Chile and Harvard University are collaborating to lead a scientific study that will measure the environmental impact of this replacement.
