Postgraduate Advisory Committee meets with representatives of the British Embassy and commissioners of CNA Chile

The meeting addressed the participation of CRUCH universities in The Fund Newton Picarte It allows for the building of long-term academic relationships through a system of co-financing and joint application to highly competitive projects.

The Postgraduate Advisory Committee of the Council of Rectors met on Tuesday, September 23 – initially – with representatives of the British Embassy to share opportunities to participate in the Fund Newton Picarte, through the "capacity building" axis. This would involve linking top-tier doctoral programs at CRUCH universities with those at British universities, known as doctoral training centres.

The Fund Newton Picarte It allows for the development of long-term academic relationships through a system of co-financing and joint applications for highly competitive projects. For CRUCH universities, these projects will be an important avenue for internationalization and innovation.

In the second part of the meeting, a productive exchange of guidelines and best practices took place with commissioners from CNA Chile, addressing the criteria and processes for postgraduate accreditation. The information received provided insight into current priorities and challenges, while also allowing participants to share the situations that programs have faced during the accreditation process.

It is hoped that this type of exchange will be maintained in the future, in order to improve and streamline the postgraduate quality assurance system.
