R&D PROJECTS
We help strengthen the capabilities of the industry through R&D proposals adapted to the characteristics and needs of each company with the help of the technological assets of the School.
CUSTOM R&D PROJECTS
In the Research and Development (R&D) projects, we identify the technological needs of each institution and connect them with the knowledge and pioneering researchof the professors of the UC School of Engineering to develop a project of R&D activities to provide a customized solution.
If in need of financing, we can collaborate with companies or organizations in the application to various funds.
CASE OF SUCCESS: CUSTOMIZED R&D PROJECT
Pavement innovation for the mining sector
The main objective of the project is to improve productivity in underground mining by applying a new high durability concrete pavement solution, through the optimization of performance in the design and construction stages using innovative technologies at the structural design, mix design, and accelerated construction methodology.
Collaborators: Sacyr, Engineering UC y Codelco.
CORPORATE ALLIANCE PROGRAM
The Corporate Alliance Program (PAC, by its acronym in Spanish) allows strengthening institutions through a close and preferential relationship with the School of Engineering and the articulation of a long-term plan of activities with our faculty and professionals.
It consists of the identification of different collaboration opportunities with an institution for the creation of a strategy that seeks to address comprehensive solutions through the School’s capabilities (education/training, research, service agreement) in a flexible work plan.
In addition, this program will allow institutions to have preferential access to events, seminars, newsletters, and the School’s calendar of activities.
