Chile| Established: | 1976 | ||
| About: |
An important part of ACHIPEC’s effort is focused on introducing Science Journalism at Chilean universities, and establishing cooperation links with scientists and academics. During its over thirty years of existence, ACHIPEC has carried out numerous activities, such as: seminars, conferences, workshops, and research. In 1996 ACHIPEC hosted the VI Latin American Congress of Science Journalism that took place in Santiago, Chile. On 2007 ACHIPEC joined the World Federation of Science Journalists. The members of the Chilean Association are convinced that today, more than ever, it is imperative that science journalists from around the world share experiences, and work together in the democratization of knowledge. The journalists who belong to ACHIPEC make their contribution to the spreading of science from their places of work at different national and international media outlets, and scientific/academic institutions. |
