A Bridge Between Saxony and Chile

Connecting Chilean and Saxon Higher Education

The Saxon Science Liaison Office Chile (SSLO-cl) fosters partnerships, research collaboration, and student exchange between Chile and the Free State of Saxony, Germany.

A Liaison Office for Both Directions

SSLO-cl is an initiative of the Free State of Saxony, funded by the Saxon State Ministry for Science, Culture and Tourism (SMWK) and coordinated by TU Chemnitz. Our office is located in Santiago de Chile at the Deutsch-Chilenischer Bund.

We are not a recruitment office. We are a bridge — enabling knowledge exchange, supporting Chilean students who seek international experience, and building lasting institutional partnerships that benefit both regions.

  • Bidirectional academic exchange between Chile and Saxony
  • Doctoral cotutelles and joint supervision programs
  • Applied research collaboration in green hydrogen, mining, and technology transfer
  • Alumni network and mentoring pipeline
