INSTITUTO INTERAMERICANO PARA LA INVESTIGACIÓN DEL CAMBIO GLOBAL (IAI) CE-XIV
Summary
The 13th Executive Council meeting of the IAI focused on institutional governance, financial stability, and the progress of its scientific programs. Key outcomes include the approval of Terms of Reference for an external evaluation of the IAI, the recommendation of candidates for the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), and the approval of a new communications strategy. The Council addressed critical financial challenges, specifically a decline in voluntary contributions to the Basic Budget, and established an ad hoc committee to manage payment delays from member countries. Programmatically, the IAI reported the conclusion of its Initial Scientific Program (ISP) and discussed the implementation of the Cooperative Research Networks (CRN) program, noting administrative difficulties in fund distribution and reporting. The meeting also coordinated future activities, including a synthesis conference ('Montevideo + 10') and a regional workshop on sustainable science in Brazil.
Key insights
- The Initial Scientific Program (ISP) is concluding in 2001, with a total investment of US$ 3,838,388; the IAI plans to produce a synthesis work and hold a 'Montevideo + 10' conference in 2002 to review its achievements.
- The IAI has identified a risk of 'endogamy' within its scientific programs, noting that out of 100 PIs and 526 Co-PIs, there are only 73 unique PIs and 386 unique Co-PIs across all projects.
