The University of Talca has obtained institutional accreditation, (2004-2009) granted by the National Undergraduate Accreditation Commission,(CNAP)for institutional administration, academic staff, infrastructure and scientific research.
In the area of research The University of Talca has increased its number of FONDECYT projects carried out and the mainstream publication of articles. However we still have many challenges, the Strategic Plan of Development "Vision 2010" includes as one of its challenges the "Positioning of Research and Management Technologies Activities in areas of both frontier and innovation".
The System Research Management(SGI)is available to all of our academic staff and permits the management of both one's own resources as of the external resources all within the areas of research. This system is administrated by the Department of Informatics Development and the department of Research and Technical Assistance.
