Abstract
Andrés Couve is a prominent chilean scientist, recognised for his leadership in academia and government. He holds a degree in biological sciences from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and a phd in cellular and molecular biology from the mount sinai school of medicine in new york. he completed a postdoctoral specialisation in neuroscience at university college london (ucl). He was Chile's first Minister of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation (2018-2022) during the second government of Sebastián Piñera. from that position, he promoted public policies to strengthen scientific research and its connection with society. Currently, he combines his work as a neuroscience researcher at the University of Chile with scientific and technological consultancies at national and international levels. with this vision in mind, he joined idemax, a regional consulting firm dedicated to adding value through innovation and scientific knowledge. the firm helps companies develop impactful businesses for the world. He recently published the book “la liebre y el compás” (Paidós, 2024), discussing the importance of science in society. We want to know his views on the value that chilean public policy assigns to science, innovation, and interdisciplinarity. We believe it is essential to understand better the most significant achievements and barriers to collaboration between the state, universities, and the productive sector, As well as the remaining challenges. He welcomes us through zoom at his home office. As a background, a bookcase full of books and a painting resting on the floor. The setting reflects this scientist who seeks to create links with creative disciplines. Through my window, i look out to a cold june morning
