The promise of conquering the air: assemblages, urban infrastructure and mobility in Santiago’s Teleférico Bicentenario cable car
How is the first cable car system integrated into urban public transport in Chile configured in socio-technical terms? Drawing on the concepts of assemblage and infrastructure, this study examines which actors drive the project, what materials and technical practices constitute its construction, and how the process is perceived by public transport users and nearby residents.

How to measure collaboration. Bibliometric proposals for linking research and society — visit by Luciano Levín
A training program in "enriched" bibliometrics is proposed, designed to make scientific collaboration networks visible and to measure them. By combining metric and qualitative strategies, the workshop provides tools to situate research within its field, identify potential collaborators, and foster stronger, more substantive connections among research teams, institutions, and society.

Urban ruins. Aftershocks of memory in Latin American cities. Santiago, Quito and Bogotá
This research project examines urban ruins in three Latin American cities as spaces where diverse temporalities and forms of agency intersect. From an anthropological perspective, applying the concept of the "ruin" necessitates an analysis that brings to light the unequal forms of agency involved in defining this condition.
