THE CASE OF MECESUP PROJECTS UNDER THE PERSPECTIVE OF COMPLEXITY SCIENCES Carolina Urbina, Juan Pablo C¨¢rdenas, Dar¨ªo C¨¢rdenasABSTRACTThis study has analysed the collaboration among Chilean universities in the program MECESUP. The results show that collaboration is an unusual phenomenon where regional institutions have taken a leading role in recent years in a process characterized by homogeneous networks of units responsible for projects implementation. However, most remarkable in this study is that results obtained seem to be related with a metric of complexity proposed for the institutions involved in this program and the heterogeneity of the studied system. %K networks %K university collaboration %K complex systems %K MECESUP %U http://www.cned.cl/public/Secciones/SeccionRevistaCalidad/doc/74/cse_articulo1043.pdf
