La misión del Centro de Políticas Públicas UC es aportar al desarrollo del país vinculando el quehacer académico de la Universidad Católica con los principales desafíos de la sociedad. En nuestro quehacer buscamos contribuir con propuestas y soluciones que son política, social y económicamente sustentables; trabajamos para incidir en el proceso de formulación de políticas públicas a través de la generación de opinión, evidencia y estudios en temas de interés público y trabajamos colaborativamente articulando distintos actores de la sociedad.
Our work aligns with the University and the values it promotes to society. We are committed to rigorous, high-quality, and high-standard work, and we focus on formulating solutions rather than merely identifying problems. Another characteristic of ours is to identify, understand, and engage the most relevant stakeholders associated with public issues.
We have a multidisciplinary team of professionals and also collaborate with researchers and academics from various faculties on the products we develop. The Public Policy Center reports to the Vice-Rector’s Office and has an Academic Council composed of representatives from nine Faculties who contribute to defining its general strategic guidelines.
The faculties affiliated with the Center are: Agronomy and Forestry Engineering; Architecture, Design and Urban Studies; Economics and Business; Social Sciences; Law; Education; History, Geography and Political Science; Engineering; and Medicine.
