The Advanced Center for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (AC3E) ranked first nationwide in the ANID 2025 call for Applied Research Centers, consolidating its role as a leading reference in applied electrical and electronic engineering in Chile.

This funding will strengthen the work the center has carried out for more than eleven years, generating advanced knowledge, training highly specialized human capital, and developing technological solutions with direct impact on the country.

Recognition of AC3E’s Leadership

As the highest-ranked proposal at the national level, AC3E secured its continuity within the Applied Research Centers program, reinforcing its contribution to Chile’s scientific and technological development. The center brings together more than one hundred researchers, engineers, and students dedicated to applied research and the development of technologies that address challenges in strategic sectors.

“This result represents not only recognition of what the center has achieved over the past eleven years, but also of the forward-looking vision reflected in the proposal submitted to the call. From the fields of electrical and electronic engineering, we seek to build and develop applied sciences with tangible impact on strategic sectors for the country’s economic and social development. These funds represent an opportunity to continue generating technological solutions that directly benefit citizens and contribute to Chile’s development.”

Héctor Ramírez, Director of AC3E

Renewed Commitment to National Development

This achievement marks a milestone for AC3E and reaffirms its leadership in applied research in electrical and electronic engineering. With a new ANID funding period, the center strengthens its commitment to scientific excellence, technological development, and contributing to the country’s progress.
