Centro

Ciencia & Vida

Centro Ciencia & Vida (CCV) is one of Chile's Scientific Technological Centers of Excellence. We carry out research in the biological sciences, train scientists and promote bioentrepreneurship and science education, convinced that science is key to a knowledge-based economy and a more equitable society.

Together with Universidad San Sebastián, our associated institution, and with partners in Chile and abroad, we seek to be an open ecosystem where scientists, students, entrepreneurs and communicators work side by side and learn from one another.

Governance

The Center is run by a small leadership team that favors direct communication. The Director leads decision-making and acts as liaison with the Board. The Deputy Director coordinates internal communications and chairs the Administration & Finance Committee. The Manager oversees daily operations, people, communications and infrastructure.
