As a network of leading universities linking the Americas, Asia and Australasia, the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU) is the Voice of Knowledge and Innovation for the Asia-Pacific region. We bring together thought leaders, researchers, and policy-makers to exchange ideas and collaborate on effective solutions to the challenges of the 21 st century.

Our primary research areas include natural hazards & disaster risk reduction, women in leadership, population aging, global health, sustainable cities, artificial intelligence & the future of work, the Pacific Ocean, and labor mobility.

The University of Chile was founded on the 19th of November, 1842. It is the oldest higher education institution in Chile. Generating, developing, integrating and communicating knowledge in all the areas of knowledge and culture are the mission and basis of the activities of the University. This makes up the involvedness of their work and directs the education they impart.

Among the first Presidents are the founder, the Venezuelan humanist and jurist Andrés Bello (1843 – 1865), and the Polish scientist and mineralogist Ignacio Domeyko Ancuta (1867 – 1883).

The University is located in the capital city Santiago de Chile and it is a public university with international quality. All the areas of knowledge are elaborated in their lecture halls and today the university is at the top of the Chilean university system with regard to teaching, research, creation and outreach.

28 Chile will once again host the more than 200 APEC 2019 Forum meetings, which include working group meetings, workshops, committees of High Representative (SOM), Ministerial, Academic, Business meetings to finish in November with the Leaders Summit.

Being a host economy allows Chile to propose the priorities and deliverables that will guide the work of the main Asia-Pacific Economic Forum throughout the year.

The realization of an APEC year provides a unique opportunity to show the cultural, social and geographic wealth of the country to all the Forum members, considering that it will generate the visit of more than 15,000 representatives of member economies, observers, businessmen, and international press.

To the above, it is added the political and economic importance of hosting a Leaders Summit, in which world powers such as China and the United States participate, as well as Russia, Japan, Korea, Australia, and Canada, together with our Latin American partners Mexico and Peru, among other economies.
