The renowned American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) has published an article in its May Newsletter about the Science and Friendship Program of the Chilean Fundación Ciencia para la Vida (FCV). This program is a developing collaboration between the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and FCV, it consist of annual meetings of researchers and graduate students from both institutions. The first meeting took place in Santiago in 2002 and since then more than 70 students and 14 professors from UCSF have taken part in seminars, workshops and research exchange with their counterparts from FCV and other Chilean universities.

Top international scientists, such as Bruce Alberts, Peter Walter or Kieth Yamamoto have taken part in this program. The article can be downloaded here.

An exciting idea that should be widely replicated across Latin America, don’t you think?
