About us

Governance

Campus Naturaleza UdeC is managed through an open and collaborative model. Decision-making is based on evidence, information is provided, and we are moving forward in this stage of the project together with the university community and local stakeholders.

BODIES ADVISORY


To ensure informed, participatory decisions that are aligned with the purpose of Campus Naturaleza UdeC, there are two advisory bodies that provide academic, technical, and regional perspectives. These committees allow for the integration of diverse experiences and ensure that the work progresses with legitimacy and evidence.

Committee Technical Advisory

The Technical Advisory Committee brings together representatives from different faculty groups at the University of Concepción. Its function is to provide guidelines based on scientific evidence, review strategic proposals and strengthen the coherence between academic work and the actions of Campus Naturaleza. Through this committee, the university community contributes specialised knowledge, an interdisciplinary vision and technical criteria that guide decision- making.

Council Joint Advisory

The Joint Advisory Council brings together voices from various sectors: public institutions, environmental organisations, the productive sector, and local communities. Its role is to provide a pluralistic, territorial, and collaborative perspective that enriches our decisions and strengthens the relationship between the University and its environment. This forum allows for dialogue, anticipating challenges, gathering lessons learned, and consolidating networks to advance conservation and human well-being.
