Convocatoria para el Programa de Capacitación - Bosques Tropicales en las Américas: Enfoques Transdisciplinarios para Transformaciones Ambientales

The document outlines the requirements for a training program focused on tropical forests in the Americas. It specifies that transdisciplinary teams of three to six people—including social scientists, natural scientists, and non-academic stakeholders—must apply. Completion of the course and a subsequent evaluation allows teams to apply for seed funding for projects. The program defines tropical forests as ecosystems between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn and emphasizes the inclusion of diverse actors from the private sector, NGOs, public administration, and indigenous communities.

• The program defines a tropical forest as any forest ecosystem situated between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, and allows proposals to include associated managed systems that influence these ecosystems.
• Transdisciplinary teams must consist of three to six people and include at least one specialist in natural sciences, one specialist in social sciences, and one non-academic stakeholder.
• While first-stage team members can be from a single country, the second stage requires teams to include members from at least two IAI member countries to meet funding requirements.
• To receive a course attendance certificate, at least half of the team members must complete 70% of the course and pass an evaluation; successful completion makes teams eligible for project seed funding.
• Non-academic stakeholders are defined as individuals not primarily linked to academic institutions, including professionals from the private sector, NGOs, public administration, civil society, and leaders from local or indigenous communities.
