Associate Teams

An Associate Team is a joint research project created between a research team in Inria France, and another foreign team. Both teams define a scientific objective, as well as a research program that involves a bilateral exchange of knowledge. They seek to promote and develop scientific collaborations around the world.

The creation and strength of the associate teams in Chile are part of the priorities in Inria Chile. The French-Chilean associate teams have long-standing collaborations between the two countries, with 39 research teams working together since Inria's arrival in Chile. They stand out for their dynamism, with the creation of new working groups led by researchers from both countries each year.

As of 2026, there are 10 associate teams between France and Chile, which are being carried out with the participation of partner universities in the latter country, such as the Universidad de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Universidad de Valparaíso, Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, Universidad Austral de Chile, Universidad de Santiago de Chile, Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, the Universidad de O’Higgins, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso and Universidad de Concepción.
