The Antitrust and Competition Center at LCUC is dedicated to the study, promotion, and research of antitrust and competition issues in Chile. As the country's sole institution focused on these matters, it operates independently while being affiliated with the University. The Center hosts annual conferences with key participants from relevant authorities, offers specialized courses, and publishes research materials. Additionally, it advocates for legal proposals and maintains a strong presence in media awareness campaigns to strengthen competition culture in Chile.
