LATIN AMERICAN PLANT SCIENCES NETWORK

Latin American Plant Sciences Network (Red Latinoamericana de Botnica) is a consortium of six Graduate Training Centers located in Mexico, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Brazil, Chile and Argentina. In these Centers, a select number of academically prestigious Latin American institutions with internationally recognised scientists collaborate to provide graduate level training (pre-Masters to Doctoral level) in a variety of areas of the plant sciences to students from other countries in the Latin American region. The Centers are also the foci for the organization of binational research projects, regional graduate courses and scientific meetings.				AIMS To increase the number of trained plant scientists in a region harboring one-third of the world's plant species To promote the development of new centers of botanical excellence throughout the region To reduce critical isolation between scientists of Latin America, that has impeded the development of a regional voice to the problems of conservation and resource management
