University of Chile

The University of Chile was founded in 1842 and is well-known as the most traditional and prestigious private university in Chile. Along with Catholic University of Chile, the university has always played a central role for many academic research fields in Chile.

Since launching the first academic partnership with The University of Tokyo in 2003, it has established intimate and various collaborative relationships in areas ranging from astronomy, seismology to liberal arts, regardless of both humanity and science. In particular, UTokyo Forum held in 2013 triggered collaborative transversal academic forums on a regular basis in both Chile and Japan, and it is highly expected to further expand and continue developing its relationships as trans-Pacific partners.

As for interactions among students, it has mainly been organized by the system called USTEP. For more details, check out the homepage of USTEP.
