ANID has awarded up to US$30,000 per network to finance collaborative research linking Chilean institutions across all regions with foreign partners, prioritizing macro-regional strategic areas and Antarctic science. The one-year networks must foster inter- and trans-disciplinary cooperation among national and international scientists, technologists and innovators to boost multi-sector knowledge internationalization throughout Chile.

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) launched a call for proposals to fund research on the demographic transition in Latin America and the Caribbean—one of the most profound transformations facing the region. With fertility rates below replacement level, the region is aging rapidly before reaching high-income status, placing mounting pressure on pension, health, and long-term care systems.

The National Research and Development Agency's (ANID) Millennium Nucleus in Social Sciences call aims to promote cutting-edge, world class science in our country. This program funds the creation of multidisciplinary research groups that address complex questions, with the purpose of elevating the quality and associativity of scientific production. Each Nucleus is awarded based on scientific merit and must focus on four key pillars: internationally competitive research, training of new scientists, creating collaboration networks, and knowledge dissemination to society. The ultimate goal is for these centers to contribute, through their results, to the country's comprehensive development and generate impact at both Latin American and global levels.

As part of the Ministry of Economy, Development, and Tourism's Sustainable Productive Development (DPS) Program, CORFO has awarded funding to four Technological Programs focused on the use and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in Chilean industries, leveraging over $20 billion (CLP) in public-private investment for the health and food sectors. One of these Technological Programs will be co-executed by DICTUC S.A. and the UC School of Engineering, specifically aimed at introducing AI-based solutions in the Chilean food industry.

ANID's Technological Centers for Innovation were designed to bring together cutting-edge research groups that collaboratively address challenges in Chilean productive sectors through an interdisciplinary approach. Their goal is to increase innovation in the national economy through R&D projects that include human capital training, technological services, and technological adaptation, contributing to the Science, Technology, Knowledge, and Innovation (CTCI) ecosystem.

The National Research and Development Agency (ANID) has announced the results of the 2025 call to fund new Applied Research Centers. These centers bring together collaborative research groups that address national challenges—climate change, energy, natural resource exploitation, pandemics—through interdisciplinary work. The main objective of these centers is to generate scientific evidence to guide public policies, improving decision-making and the country's well-being, while fostering national and international collaborations that may eventually become benchmarks in their fields.
