With a record of applications, the results of the ESO–Chile 2023 Joint Committee are announced
The ESO–Government of Chile Joint Committee has announced the 20 winning projects of the 2023 call, which will distribute 563 million Chilean pesos (about 30 million EUR).
The ESO–Government of Chile Joint Committee funds will be invested in initiatives dedicated to developing scientific and technological research and promoting cooperation in the astronomical field. Astronomy dissemination and education projects throughout Chile will also be financed.
This year, the Committee received 94 applications, a record number over the entire fund history, 45% more than in 2022. Of the total, 50% of the applications fall in scientific research, while 30% were proposals for the dissemination and education of astronomical science.
“We are very happy with the increase in applications; this means that astronomy, and particularly this fund, is consolidated as a development tool in the Chilean community”, said Luis Chavarría, ESO representative in Chile, after the results were delivered.
Since 1996, the ESO–Government of Chile Joint Committee has been one of the main funds for the development of the area as it supports postdoctoral programmes and academic positions in astronomy in Chilean institutions. In addition, it finances national and foreign scientific visits, technology demonstrators, and educational programs for teaching and disseminating this science in the country.
The Joint Committee of ESO–Government of Chile is made up of representatives of ESO and the Government of Chile through the Directorate of Energy, Science and Technology and Innovation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation and the Chilean Astronomy Society.
