Only about 2% of scientists in the Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) are Chilean or affiliated with Chilean institutions, despite Chile hosting the Rubin Observatory and holding data rights. This underrepresentation, seen across other collaborations in cosmology as well, is a significant concern to our community. While efforts are underway to address the imbalance, more action is needed. This poster explores the root causes, highlights current initiatives, and proposes strategies to strengthen Chilean participation in Rubin-related science.Only about 2% of scientists in the Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) are Chilean or affiliated with Chilean institutions, despite Chile hosting the Rubin Observatory and holding data rights.
