Informe de la Dirección Ejecutiva del IAI

The IAI report details the successful implementation of the CRN-II program and the closure of CRN-I, alongside new funding from the NSF for human dimensions research. It highlights expanded institutional cooperation with entities like RIOCC, CYTED, and IICA, and the organization of several workshops on climate-land use interfaces and disaster risk management. Administratively, the IAI appointed a new Financial and Administrative Officer and is transitioning its Data and Information System to open-source software. Financially, as of November 2006, only 6% of approved member contributions had been collected, though the institute expects to reach 90% for the 2006/2007 period.

• The CRN-II program has been successfully implemented, with all contracts signed, marking a transition toward a more mature and interconnected scientific program.
• The IAI is integrating science with education and capacity building, specifically through synthesis activities and workshops on climate-land use interactions and disaster risk management.
• New funding was secured from the NSF for a human dimensions program starting in 2007, and the IDRC of Canada will promote socioeconomic research on land use and adaptation.
• The IAI has established institutional cooperations with regional networks including RIOCC, CYTED, and IICA to align with regional contexts and synergies.
• The IAI is migrating its Data and Information System (DIS) from Mercury software to the open-source Apache Lucene to increase flexibility and reduce licensing costs, with an expected operational date in the first quarter of 2007.
• As of November 23, 2006, only 6% of approved member contributions for the 2006/2007 fiscal year had been collected, with payments received only from Argentina and Chile.
