We are Millennium Institute BASE

We look forward to strengthening the scientific research excellence in biodiversity, conservation, and international law in Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic territories.

Our Mission

To generate cutting-edge scientific knowledge in Chile and train young researchers.

We seek to communicate

And transfer scientific knowledge to opinion leaders, decision makers, educational communities and citizens.
