“So, for example, if in the last four years the Diego Portales University received six Brazilians and five Cubans in their doctorates, it also welcomed three Indians, two Italians and two Dutch, who, among other nationalities, join an Armenian, a Slovak and an Iranian.”

“It is a nation that offers many opportunities if you want to do your thesis on this topic (galaxy formation and evolution). You have the VLT in the Atacama Desert, the ELT that will soon be built, the climatic conditions in the north of the country for astronomical observations, as well as world-renowned centers, such as ESO,” says Soraya Lambert, future student of the UDP Doctorate program in Astrophysics. .

“Also, it is a very attractive country, which offers magnificent landscapes, mountains and seascapes. I dream of hiking in the Andes mountain range, in the Atacama Desert and in Patagonia,” she adds.
