UCL & Chile in the news

Professor Mariana Mazzucato meets President Boric in Santiago, Chile

UCL IIPP (Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose) Director Mariana Mazzucato met Chile’s President Gabriel Boric, Finance Minister Mario Marcel, and Economic Minister Nicolas Grau during her trip to Santiago in October 2022, as well as presenting her new ECLAC (Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean) report to other government ministers.

Student Life

We have an active Students’ Union, which offers over 300 clubs and societies. This includes an active Chilean Society and the UCL Spanish and Latin American Society.

The Chilean Society is a lively and welcoming community for all students interested in Chilean culture. They host and organise social events including movie screenings, hiking in nature, music arts and crafts workshops and much more!

Also, the Spanish and Latin American Society was established over a decade ago. It was built on the premise of being a welcoming place for Spanish-speaking students and anyone interested in immersing themselves in Latin traditions and Spanish language across the globe. Currently, this is a vibrant community hosting conferences, social activities, and sports tournaments.
