UNESCO and CMM meet to strengthen strategic ties in Education

Since 2019 -and renewed until 2026- the Education Laboratory provides a teacher training chair certified by the international organization.

This Thursday, March 14, the National Education Officer in Chile of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Paula Klenner Forttes, visited the Center for Mathematical Modeling of the University of Chile in order to strengthen and enhance strategic ties, specifically, with the Education Laboratory that since 2019 teaches the UNESCO Chair: “Teacher training to teach mathematics in the XXI Century“.

The director of CMM-Edu, Salomé Martínez, accompanied by the director of the center, Héctor Ramírez, and the general coordinator of the laboratory, Sofía Bustos, took advantage of the occasion to present other institutional projects for initial training, innovation in the classroom and professional development of teachers, such as Matemática Conectada (MATCON), Suma y Sigue, Sumo Primero and RedFID.

Center for Mathematical Modeling

The CMM is today the most active scientific research institution in mathematical modeling in Latin America. It is a center of excellence of the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID) of Chile, integrated by eight partner universities and located at the Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences of the University of Chile. It is also the International Research Laboratory (IRL) #2807 of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).

Its mission is to create mathematics in response to problems in other sciences, industry and public policy. It seeks to develop science with the highest standards, excellence and rigor in areas such as data science, climate and biodiversity, education, resource management, mining and digital health.
