Within the framework of the 2026 Universidad de Chile Research Encounter, the Research and Development Vice-Rectory (VID) granted an important recognition for scientific excellence to a prominent group of academics from the institution, among them our co-researcher Patricia Peña.
This event celebrates professors’ career and commitment to the development of the university policy.
Following a selection process involving 20 nominees, the university recognized the work of Patricia Peña and other professors.
The recognition was presented in the category “Contribution to Regulation and Research Quality”. This award especially highlights their contributions through institutional committees and other key spaces dedicated to strengthening research standards and ensuring excellence, a task that directly affects the prestige of the academic institution.
The official presentation of the award was performed last Wednesday, May 20th, 2026 at 2.00 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Faculty of Government (VM20). The 2025 Research Recognition Ceremony was a space for gathering and honoring the fundamental role played by academics in the design of institutional frameworks that are indispensable for the advancement of knowledge.
