Outreach at CMM seeks to consolidate the relationship with different segments of the Chilean society. The Center organizes different events aiming at elementary, high school and undergraduate students, companies’ and industries’ executives, and government officers. It also endorses activities arranged by external institutions and researchers from other universities. In total, it is estimated that about 25,000 people were part of actions organized or supported by CMM’s program.
Pillars of the outreach strategy
- Raising the awareness of Mathematics as a key factor in the country’s development
- The communication of the CMM’s achievements in research
- Showing how useful mathematics is for the society and everyday life
- Promoting the inclusion of everyone in the science and mathematics world
