Training Institutes
The IAI considers one of its main priorities to be the support of training and education (T&E) activities, such as granting fellowships and research opportunities to students and professionals from many countries of the Americas. In the past 10 years, the IAI has supported hundreds of professionals attending technical workshops and seminars, as well as students in academic programs at the undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate levels. Recipients of academic grants not only receive financial resources to conduct their studies, but also benefit from exposure to scientific environments and from opportunities to link their degree studies with current research activities (through field trips, laboratory experiments, related studies in countries other than their own, and the exchange of scientific data and knowledge with other investigators within the IAI network). The IAI also supports other T&E efforts and initiatives, such as scientific and technical workshops, Training Institutes, and seminars.
