Cooperating Universities

International cooperation by signed contracts and agreements

In recent years, specific contracts and agreements have been signed, re-signed and implemented:

(1) Universities:

Argentina:

• Universidad Nacional de Salta (UNSa) Principal partners: R. Alonso, R. Becchio, M. Escayola, B. Heit, F. Hongn, R. Omarini and J. Viramonte
• Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Tecnología Principal partners: R. Mon, V.H. Rios, and A. Villanueva
• Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas Principal partners: G. Font, J.C. Gianibelli, R. Perdomo, C. Rapela

Bolivia:

• Universidad Autónoma "Tomás Frías" (Potosi), Facultad de Ingeniería Geológica Principal partner: H. Castro
• Universidad Mayor de San Andres, La Paz, Facultad de Ciencias Puras y Naturales, Facultad de Ciencias Geológicas. Principal partner: E. Ricaldi

Chile:

• Universidad Católica del Norte, Antofagasta, Departamento de Ciencias Geológicas Principal partners: G. Chong D., G. Gonzales and H. Wilke
• Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Facultad de Física y Mathemática, Principal partners: R. Charrier, D. Comte, F. Hervé,
• Universidad de Concepción, Universidad Principal partners: G. Alfaro, K. Bataille, A. Cecioni, O. Figueroa, L. A. Quinzio

Among all partner universities in the host countries, the Universidad Católica del Norte based in Antofagasta plays an outstanding role due to its overwhelming logistical and personal support for the SFB and its subprojects. Without this support over more than 15 years no successful fieldwork by SFB projects would have been possible. Of late, the Universidad de Concepción is claiming a similar position at the southern SFB traverse due to the transfer of some SFB subproject activities from the North to the South.
