TORO LABBE, Ignacio. The role of Engineering and Engineering Science in Environmental Licensing, Case Study: Chile. rev.ing. [online]. 2015, n.43, pp.71-77. ISSN 0121-4993.  https://doi.org/10.16924/riua.v0i43.904.

In this paper, we analyze the role of engineering and research in the environmental licensing process in the light of institutional changes made in Chile since 2010: the creation of the Ministry of Environment and the Environmental Assessment Service. To do this, we will show the challenges posed by these new institutions, the opportunities identified and the work undertaken to address those changes. Finally, the results will be presented taking the Punta Alcalde project as a model.
