Winners announced for the ESO–Chile 2025 Joint Committee
The ESO–Government of Chile Joint Committee has announced 16 winning projects from the 2025 call, which will distribute more than 600 million Chilean pesos in initiatives dedicated to supporting astronomy dissemination and education projects in Chile, and supporting astronomy post-doctoral programmes in Chilean institutions.
This year 98 eligible proposals were received. Almost 44% of the applications funded were proposals for the dissemination and education on astronomy, while 38% fall on supporting astronomical post-doctoral programmes and technology development projects in Chilean institutions.
“This fund has been an instrumental tool for the development of astronomy in Chile, not only for supporting academic positions in Chilean universities and technological development related to astronomy, but also for its dissemination. In the next years this will be a very important area for the Chilean community, with the upcoming celebration of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) General Assembly in 2030 in Chile,” said Itziar de Gregorio Monsalvo, 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.
