About the Commission

The creation of this Commission, which was established in May 2023, responds to three main aspects: the importance of community engagement for higher education and accreditation in Chile; the value and coordination of community engagement by university institutions, both among themselves and with other organizations; and the institutional framework at the university level, CRUCH, most of which have a community engagement policy.
