The universities of Edinburgh, Columbia, Oxford, Sciences Po, and the London School of Economics (LSE) offer a range of academic programs, with admissions opening in the coming months. In collaboration with these universities, the Luksic Foundation has created full scholarships for Chilean nationals and permanent residents to participate in these international programs.

Trinidad García, Director of International Education at the Luksic Foundation, highlighted that the Luksic Scholarships for master’s programs are designed to broaden access, enabling more Chileans to take advantage of these opportunities. “Pursuing a master’s degree abroad is a transformative experience that expands horizons and fosters professional growth. Participants immerse themselves in a new academic and social culture, deepen their knowledge, build networks, and learn to tackle challenges in their fields from fresh, innovative perspectives,” García said.

The Luksic Scholarships for international master’s programs focus on three key areas: public service, sustainability, and data.

All Luksic Scholarship recipients become part of the Luksic Scholars Community, a global network of over 1,000 scholars who have participated in various programs supported by the Foundation since 2000. This community offers access to exclusive support opportunities and connections with other professionals.

In the coming months, these universities will start their admissions processes. It’s important to note that both the applications for the master’s programs and the allocation of Luksic Scholarships are handled directly by each academic institution.

Academics from northern Chile participated in the symposium organized by the University of Antofagasta (UA), through the Vice-Rectorate of Research, Innovation, and Postgraduate Studies, and its Office of Technology Transfer and Licensing (OTL), in collaboration with the Luksic Scholars Foundation.

The week-long program provided a wealth of new knowledge and learning opportunities, concluding five years of entrepreneurship education taught by experts at Babson College, one of the world’s leading universities in entrepreneurship education in the United States. The symposium called “The Babson Symposium for Entrepreneurship Educations – Antofagasta,” was specifically designed for universities in the northern region and has been held in Antofagasta.

The fifth and final edition of the seminar, organized by the University of Antofagasta (UA) via the Vice-Rectorate of Research, Innovation, and Postgraduate Studies, and its Office of Technology Transfer and Licensing (OTL), in collaboration with the Luksic Scholars Foundation, concluded with the delivery of certificates to the participating professors.

In this edition, academics from a range of universities participated, including the University of Tarapacá, Arturo Prat University, the Catholic University of the North, the University of Atacama, the University of La Serena, and the University of Antofagasta. They were presented with a valuable learning opportunity to foster a strong entrepreneurial mindset in their students, thereby reshaping both undergraduate and postgraduate education with an emphasis on entrepreneurship.

EXPERIENCE

This year’s edition focused on biotechnology in which participants participated in various theoretical and practical classes that included engaging and interactive dynamics in order to strengthen the already-acquired knowledge. These classes were led by Andrew Corbett, President of the Entrepreneurship Division, and Matthew Allen, Associate Professor in the Academic Division of Entrepreneurship, both from Babson College.

As part of the week’s activities, the experts and participants also visited the UA’s research centers to learn about the research lines, scientific and technological developments, and local innovation carried out by the University.

Matthew Allen, Associate Professor in the Academic Division of Entrepreneurship at Babson College, said “it has been a fantastic experience because we were able to work with a very good group of almost 50 teachers from the northern zone of the country, providing new learning techniques and tools for teaching entrepreneurship. We are extremely grateful to the University of Antofagasta and the Luksic Scholars Foundation for helping us make this event possible for five years, and to all the participants for their great enthusiasm and eagerness to learn.”

Karina Pérez Cruz, Director of Innovation, Development, and Technology Transfer at the University of Atacama in Copiapó, stated that “the experience was tremendously enriching from an academic standpoint because we were engaging with academics and a business school that are both internationally recognized. I am thankful for this opportunity because it is the first of many connections and networking opportunities that we can create as colleagues between institutions. I am extremely grateful; it has been a very good experience.”

Similarly, Silvana Cerda, Scientific, and Technological Entrepreneurship Manager at the Technology Transfer Office of the University of Tarapacá in Arica, stated, “The truth is, for us as professionals who are promoting entrepreneurship based on scientific and technological knowledge in universities, this participation has been fundamental because it allows us to visualize different tools and methodologies that can contribute and help us teach entrepreneurship in a more engaging way.”

FIVE YEARS

After five years of symposiums held from 2018 to the present, more than 200 academics from the northern zone of our country were trained in entrepreneurship and were provided with training that even led them to start their own innovative companies.

During this half-decade, various topics were addressed with a focus on the strategic areas of northern Chile. The first version of the symposium took place in person in 2018 with a focus on Energy. In 2019, it covered Mineral Processes, while in 2021, due to the pandemic, the seminar was conducted remotely and focused on Aquaculture. It returned to in-person format in 2022 with the theme of Digital Transformation.

Isabella Luksic, Executive Director of the Luksic Scholars Foundation, highlighted that “in its five versions, Babson SEE Antofagasta has been an experience known for its knowledge exchange, collaboration, and the building of networks based on shared experiences. We thank Babson College, the University of Antofagasta, and the more than 200 participants who brought this program to life over the past years, allowing us to strengthen entrepreneurship education and bring innovative educational practices to the northern macrozone of Chile.”

Alejandra Portillo, Director of the Office of Technology Transfer and Licensing at UA, also emphasized that this final edition has left everyone feeling extremely content due to the number of trained teachers and the applied content.

“We are happy that through these five years, the participants have made a difference. We are proud that some of them have even created companies based on the knowledge received from Babson College. We are completely grateful to both the attendees and the Luksic Scholars Foundation and Babson College because these great results were achieved thanks to this significant alliance.”

ENTREPRENEURS

As a result of the program’s primary goal to foster entrepreneurship and economic development in Chile, a number of technological ventures, scientific and technology-based companies, and spin-offs have been successfully established at UA. These entities are now flourishing, thanks to the cutting-edge business education offered by Babson College.

One of them is “Abalone Pearls Technology,” a company founded by academics Rubén Araya (who is part of the Luksic Scholars Community) and Jaime Maturana. Its focus is on research and development in marine resources, abalone farming, and pearl production.

Another venture is “Pampa Biotech,” whose objective is development, management, production, and molecular design. They also conduct evaluations, design, and construction of educational kits, and design innovations in industrial and environmental processes. This company was founded by Francisco Solís, Bernardita Valenzuela, and Pedro Zamorano.

Additionally, Pedro Zamorano, among other researchers, created “SynbioNortech,” with the primary goal of developing, managing, producing, validating, and executing DNA molecular research and design.

On the other hand, the R&D company “Descom Energy” was developed by Mauro Henríquez and Abdiel Mallco to provide solutions to the inquiries of the solar thermal storage industry using molten salts.

Catherine Lizama and Juan Morales also founded “Micronative Biotechnology” to produce and market bioproducts and bioactive compounds derived from microorganisms widely used in the microalgal industry.

Conclusively, the knowledge provided to over 200 teachers during these five years of the “Symposium for Entrepreneurship Educators” for universities in the northern zone, along with the emergence of various technological ventures, marks a significant milestone in entrepreneurship education in the northern zone of Chile.

This year, the Luksic Scholars Foundation relaunched The Luksic Scholars Fund, an opportunity that allows members of its network to be awarded up to $5,000.00 USD per project.

A total of 11 projects have been selected to receive support from The Luksic Scholars Fund 2022, an internal initiative created by the Luksic Scholars Foundation that seeks to continue providing professional development opportunities to the members of its community via this second edition. 

Those who applied to receive support were asked to demonstrate how their initiative would respond to one or more of the development points defined by the Fund: obtain leadership skills as agents of change in one’s area of expertise, acquire competencies in key areas for one’s careers, and/or develop knowledge and research that contribute to one’s professional field. 

The Scholars who have been granted financial support from the Fund reside in various regions throughout Chile, such as Antofagasta, Biobío, Maule, Metropolitana, Los Lagos y Los Ríos, and they have participated in programs supported by the Luksic Scholars Foundation which range from research fellowships, symposiums for teaching entrepreneurship, and pedagogical conferences to Master’s programs related to public service. 

The selected initiatives will receive up to $5,000.00 USD in funding for their development and range from education, entrepreneurship, science, public policy, and food and nutrition to research.

During the second half of this year, the universities of Oxford and LSE in the United Kingdom opened applications to their Master’s programs in Public Policy (Oxford and LSE) and Public Administration (only LSE). The Luksic Scholarships are full scholarships and are available to Chileans admitted to these international programs. 

In a dynamic and constantly changing society, creating public policies that respond effectively to people’s needs is a great challenge. To address this problem, the University of Oxford and the London School of Economics (LSE) offers Master’s degrees related to public service that focus on training leaders with a strong social commitment.

Through these international programs, admitted students will be able to acquire new tools, both for the development of their careers and to generate changes in their professional environment. They will also be able to obtain new perspectives, theories, and practical knowledge to address real-world challenges in the field of public policy. 

The content of these Master’s programs varies and their duration ranges from 9 to 24 months, allowing those interested to choose between the options that best suit their professional and personal needs. 

To support the participation of Chilean candidates in these programs, the Luksic Scholars Foundation has collaborated with these universities to establish scholarship opportunities to cover the costs associated with the program, such as tuition and living expenses.

Until the time of her passing, Karen Poniachik served as Director of the Global Center at Columbia University. During her 11 years of leading the Center, she left an important mark on the formation of the alumni community throughout Chile as well as seeking opportunities and spaces for women in leadership roles.

The Luksic Scholars Foundation expresses its deep sorrow for the early passing of Karen Poniachik, who at 57 years of age leaves a great legacy as Director of the Global Center of Columbia University, which she successfully led with great professionalism and leadership over the last 11 years.

Having studied journalism at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and a Master’s degree in International Relations from Columbia University, Karen always stood out for her strategic and global vision and for being in constant search of new academic horizons for Chileans and foreign students in Chile. She had the ability to create an important community of Columbia alumni throughout Chile and promoted numerous initiatives to promote the role of women in leadership positions.

Peter Morse, President of the Board of the Luksic Scholars Foundation, also expresses his deepest condolences to the family and friends of Poniachik: “We will always remember Karen with special affection, and we thank her for her great dedication and passion for learning. She always looked for new and innovative opportunities for collaboration between Chile and the world, and she had special leadership at the helm of the Global Center of Columbia University, an institution with which we were able to continue strengthening our ties thanks to its global and strategic vision.” “We especially appreciate the great contribution she made to build bridges between Chile and leading international centers of research,” Morse also comments.

Throughout her career, Karen held various positions, both in the public and private spheres. Between 1995 and 2000, she was the Director of Business Programs at the Council of the Americas in New York. She was also a consultant for private companies and for the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Finance. During the government administration of President Ricardo Lagos, she held the position of Executive Vice President of the Foreign Investment Committee (CEI), from March 2000 to March 2006. Later, during the first government of President Michelle Bachelet, she became Minister of Mining, becoming the first woman in history to hold this position.

At the beginning of October, the application cycle to apply for the Master’s programs offered by the Paris School of International Affairs and the School of Public Affairs at the University of Sciences Po opened.
