MIT-Chile Program (MISTI)

Chile has taken a leading role in addressing the world’s science and technology needs in the twenty-first century.

Chilean companies, research institutes and universities are leaders in the fields of innovation, entrepreneurship, mining, sustainable development, urban transportation, astronomy, aerospace and aeronautics, and many others. These fields, which are continually changing, are exciting points of intersection for creating paths to future collaborations and understanding what is beneficial to our world.

Each year through the MIT-Chile Program undergraduate and graduate students intern and conduct research in Chilean companies and labs. The MIT-Chile Seed Funds facilitate dozens of research collaborations between MIT faculty and their Chilean counterparts.
