Annual Report 2022 – Regional Focal Point for Latin America and the Caribbean

Regional focal points are 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, this new regional focal point works to ensure that ISC activities can benefit the Latin America and Caribbean region.

The regional focal point 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 Regional Focal Point for Latin America and the Caribbean of the ISC (ISC RFP-LAC) is based at the Colombian Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences, convenes the scientific community in Latin America and the Caribbean and acts as a hub for ISC Members and activities in the region.
