In addition, Universidad Católica’s School of Engineering and Columbia’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences signed a develop strategies to deepen the existing collaboration between the Institute of Biological and Medical Engineering (IBME) of UC and the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (FFSEAS) at Columbia.
There is also an ongoing research project in the public health area, which entails strong collaboration between Columbia’s Aging Center and Universidad Diego Portales (UDP’s) School of Public Policy.
