The Latin American Regional Hub of SocSES is launching in April!

Join the launch of the SocSES Regional Hub for Latin America! This will be a 1-hour Zoom session to introduce the Latin American Hub, and it is an opportunity for SocSES members based (or doing work) in Latin America to start getting to know each other and to learn about how they might use their capacities and capabilities to build a Regional Hub for Latin America.

Simultaneous interpretation (Español/English) will be provided. Non-members are also welcome to attend.

This SocSES Regional Hub (which builds upon the work of the Latin American Network of the Program on Ecosystem Change and Society – LAPECS) aims to enhance the capacity to strengthen regional research networks on social-ecological systems and transdisciplinary collaborations around sustainability challenges, as well as to facilitate South-South exchanges. The key focus areas include networking and research synthesis.

The aim of the SocSES Regional Hubs is to connect people working in particular regions, supporting place-based work and learning within specific contexts. The Regional Hubs help amplify local voices and link contextual regional expertise to global sustainability efforts. They foster innovative, context-sensitive solutions by integrating diverse knowledge systems and bridging global and local perspectives. To date, six regional hubs have been established: Asia, Northern America (Canada & USA), Europe, Latin America, Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and Oceania, as well as Southern Africa.
