Other Activities Capacity Building
The quest to expand our knowledge
about biological diversity holds inherent challenges. While most
species are located in tropical areas, financial resources and
technical capacity are severely lacking outside the developed world.
Thus, it is critically important to pursue science while also making
technological advances more widely available and building the skills
necessary to carry out integrative research. As far as possible,
all DIVERSITAS activities will be designed to support direct involvement
of scientists from all regions of the world.
DIVERSITAS currently
pursues capacity building opportunities by collaborating with
organisations dedicated to this cause, including:
- Asia
Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN)
- European Network for Research on Global Change (ENRICH)
- Inter-American
Institute for Global Change Research (IAI)
- SysTem
for Analysis, Research and Training (START)
- Tropical
Biology Association (TBA)
- United National
Environment Programme (UNEP)
- Watson Institute for
International Studies
