The University of Talca is expanding its international involvement in climate and sustainability initiatives. At the ‘Oxford-NEXUS 2050 Global Roundtable’, the university signed a declaration focused on agroindustrial sovereignty and energy transition. This multilateral alliance aims to connect clean energy with agriculture, specifically through the development of green fertilizers and artificial intelligence to support the Global South.

Building on this momentum, the university has opened applications for a competition to select students and academics to join the Chilean Delegation at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey. This initiative seeks to showcase undergraduate research addressing global environmental issues and marks the institution’s third participation in the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
