About the Commission
The Research Commission of the Council of Rectors of Chilean Universities (CRUCH) brings together the vice-rectorates and research directorates of its 30 member institutions. Its fundamental purpose is to advise the full Council on the formulation of proposals for the development of research, maintaining constant contact with stakeholders in the national Science, Technology, Knowledge, and Innovation (STKI) system. Given that CRUCH universities generate approximately 90% of the country's scientific output, this Commission plays a critical role in the design and analysis of public policies.
