MIT-Chile - Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile Seed Fund

The MIT-Chile - Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile Seed Fund supports budding research collaborations between faculty and research scientists at MIT and their counterparts at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.

Through an annual call for proposals, the fund primarily supports travel costs for exchange between a team at MIT and colleagues in Chile. The Chilean colleague(s) must be identified in the proposal. The maximum award is $30,000.

Priority will be given to projects that:

  • propose a balanced exchange between the MIT and Chilean participants

  • demonstrate complementarity between the MIT and Chilean teams

Sixty percent of available funds will be earmarked for projects with an engineering component.
