CuriosasMentes is an initiative organized by PAR Explora RM Norte, which seeks to generate interactive encounters between the scientific community and educational communities. Its purpose is to awaken curiosity, interest and appreciation for scientific topics in the school community, through the development of various experiences, such as: talks, traveling laboratories and museums, observatories and open laboratories.
This activity is organized by PAR Explora RM Norte, of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation, executed by the Advanced Center for Chronic Diseases (ACCDiS ) and led by the University of Chile through the Faculty of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
The objective of the activity is to generate meeting spaces so that students, teachers, directors and families can learn first-hand about the work of researchers, contributing to awaken curiosity and interest in scientific topics.
Researchers and professionals in the social and natural sciences, innovation and research in the arts and humanities may apply from June 12 to July 7.
The “CuriosasMentes Itinerant Laboratories” seek to bring, in person and free of charge, during the period from Tuesday September 5 to Thursday September 14, practical experiences related to CTCI to educational establishments and kindergartens. To this end, we invite institutions, researchers and professionals in the Social and Natural Sciences, Innovation and research in the Arts and Humanities to develop their proposals.
Registration process:

- Subsequently, the process of calling and selecting the educational establishments and kindergartens that wish to participate in the initiative will begin.
- A meeting between both parties will be coordinated during the period from Tuesday, September 5 to Thursday, September 14, 2023.
The “CuriosasMentes Talks” invite professionals from the world of research and/or innovation, to leave the field of action of their own working life, to go in person to educational establishments and kindergartens in the northern area of the Metropolitan Region. This, in order to share experiences through a conversation between them and the educational communities. Through this instance, professionals can share both personal and professional experiences (for example: they can argue the reasons that led them to become scientists and/or present their research in a language appropriate to the educational community), thus contributing to arouse curiosity and interest in topics related to the CTCI.
To do so, you must:
- Fill out the registration form, in which you must give account of the theme of your talk: https://n9.cl/charlascuriosasmentes
