How it works

Joint program

The industrial partner and CENTRA define a research program of shared interest, in the spirit of an industrial Fondecyt: long-term questions with public results.

What it funds

PhD students and postdocs, equipment, program expenses and the chair holder. The contribution depends on the agreed scope.

Complementary funding

Chairs can leverage Fondequip, Fondecyt Postdoctoral, Becas Chile and other funds to expand the program.
