Annual Report 2011-2012

The IAI activities plan for 2011-2012 focuses on renewing its training and scientific programs, including the launch of a new series of Training Institutes and the potential establishment of a Centre of Excellence on water security. Key initiatives include a MacArthur Foundation-funded project on biodiversity in the Tropical Andes and a renewed internship agreement with INPE/CPTEC. The document also notes a need for greater operational stability within the IAI Directorate to manage increasing workloads.

• The IAI is renewing its training and scientific programs for the 2011-2012 period, with existing CRN and Small Grant projects scheduled to conclude in early 2012.
• Planned training activities include a follow-up session on knowledge integration and geographic information in Montevideo in September 2011, and a session on Climate Information and Public Health in Montevideo in November 2011.
• Collaborations between the US, Chile, Mexico, and other entities regarding water security have led to a proposal for the IAI's first Centre of Excellence.
• The MacArthur Foundation has funded a project titled “Impacts of climate change on biodiversity in the Tropical Andes: climate-related vulnerability assessments and improved decision making processes for conservation and land use planning in two Andean biodiversity hotspots”, which began in June 2011.
• The IAI Directorate requires resolution of operational instabilities that have persisted for seven years to better manage increased workloads resulting from expanded activities and research responsibilities.
