ACTIVITIES OF SCIENTIFIC PROMOTION AND DISSEMINATION

1. Open TV

Conduction of a one hour prime-time program ( about 40 programs) on the state chilean television (TVN) about scientific and technological topics (1996 - up today).

This program has been very successful with 15 rating points (one point is about 70.000 people) and an excellent critique in Chilean journals and Newspapers. Also, it has been awarded among the best tree cultural programs in Chile (APES-97), and at international level in Prix IAMS to the best scientific documentary, Tele-Science, Montreal - Canada. Also it is a comment program in TV Culture, Brazilian open TV. Recently the program won the prestigious UNESCO-CNRS Prize Jules Verne. (Paris, 2004).
