Our motivations
ICES seeks to be a contribution to academic and professional collaboration between Chile and Switzerland. Based on our academic and professional experiences in Switzerland, we believe that there is ample room for scientific and professional collaboration between Swiss and Chilean individuals and institutions. We believe that the academic, professional and even personal lives of Chilean researchers in Switzerland can benefit from the advice and past experiences of Chileans already working in Switzerland. Our main motivation is to create a space where Chilean researchers working in Switzerland can contact each other, exchange experiences and explore new academic challenges together with Chilean and Swiss organizations, as well as being an information platform to facilitate the exchange of Chilean students in Switzerland.
