CEDENNA researcher, 2007 National Prize for Exact Sciences winner and academic at the Universidad de Chile, Dr. Miguel Kiwi, recently published an opinion column in the newspaper La Segunda, in which he invites us to reflect on the urgent need to strengthen investment in basic science and technology as strategic pillars for the country’s development and well-being.
In his analysis, Dr. Kiwi highlights the recent advances recognized with the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics, highlighting the transformative impact of quantum physics and nanotechnology, two frontier scientific areas in which Chile has relevant capabilities, but also major outstanding challenges.
“If we do not invest in science and technology now, in 50 years we will still be buying technology based on science made by others who were more fortunate,” he writes in his column.
Dr. Kiwi’s call aims to build a country that not only consumes knowledge, but also generatesit, transfers it and transforms it into concrete solutions for the challenges of the present and the future.
