On April 8th, the first DISCA Student Meeting was held at the Diego Portales University in Santiago, Chile. The activity brought together undergraduate, masters and doctoral students involved in research within the DISCA Millennium Nucleus, with the aim of sharing topics of interest, getting to know each other and thinking about collaborative initiatives to support each other in the design, development and dissemination of their research.

The meeting, held in a hybrid format, was attended by 11 students (6 on-site and 5 online), who shared their research motivations and reflected together on possible dissemination actions. The director of the Nucleus, Florencia Herrera, welcomed the group and contextualized the current state of the project, which is in its third year of operation.

During the day, several ideas emerged to make visible the work that each student is developing. As a first step, a survey will be sent out to gather opinions and prioritize the proposals with the greatest support. In addition, a second meeting is planned in a month’s time, with a view to further strengthening the support networks among DISCA students.
