Regional Focal Point for Latin America and the Caribbean

The ISC Regional Focal Point for Latin America and the Caribbean works with ISC Members in Latin America and the Caribbean to ensure that scientists and scientific institutions working in the region are actively engaged in the ISC's global activities and in the ISC's affiliated bodies and other networks.

The ISC Regional Focal Point for Latin America and the Caribbean is crucial to ensuring that the work of the ISC is representative of scientists from across the world, and of the concerns of different regions. Through supporting and promoting the integration of regional communities and capacities within the ISC network, the focal point works to ensure that ISC activities can benefit the Latin America and Caribbean region.
