Chilean science Chile should have a science ministry, a panel of scientists and economists has recommended to Chilean President Sebastián Piñera in a report delivered on 15 May. Piñera had created the advisory commission in January. The panel’s report notes that science governance in the country is fragmented in uncoordinated institutions, and would benefit from being placed, along with higher education, in a dedicated ministry. Chilean scientists have repeatedly requested the same reform, most recently in a letter to the president in April.
