Connections to Sustain Science in Latin America

This program facilitates and develops the scientific community of early-career researchers in Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) countries. The National Academies work with academic institutions, NGOs, and science academy partners via the Inter-American Network of Academies of Sciences (IANAS) to provide connections, accessible science material, and guidance for early-career scientists, enabling them to stay connected to research frontiers, develop networks, build leadership skills, and see viable ways of pursuing their careers in Latin America. This program consists of an online knowledge repository and networking workshops.
