This network enhances the interdisciplinary work of UC researchers, promoting undergraduate and postgraduate training, through interaction with the most representative ecosystems in Chile. The desert, the sea, the forests and glaciers are the perfect laboratory to study complex, diverse and valuable phenomena that seek to solve local problems with a global scope, always in harmony and cooperating with the local communities surrounding the centers and stations.
