International Collaboration
One important aim of CIIR is to develop a global network of researchers dealing with intercultural and indigenous issues that will allow the improvement of the quality of the research projects and the expansion of comparison among these studies. To achieve this goal, we have developed seminars, received visiting researchers in the Center and encouraged our researchers to join international research projects. The purpose is to position the CIIR as a meeting point for high-level researchers of issues related to multiculturalism and indigenous peoples from the perspective of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities in Latin America.
Countries around the world have done valuable research on the issues and processes the indigenous peoples have gone through and on intercultural relations. CIIR’ goal is to incorporate their experience so as to enrich the current level of research in Chile, through mutual collaboration among researchers of prestigious institutions in Latin America, Europe, Australia and North America.
