Cochabamba was selected for the SANREM CRSP 2007 annual meeting for two reasons. First, bringing host-country partners to the United States has become more difficult because of the J-1 visa restrictions. Second, three of SANREM’s five Long-Term Research (LTR) Activities have sites in Bolivia. This opened up opportunities for visits to project sites during the meeting, greater participation of host-country partners, and opportunities for some partners to combine meeting attendance with activity research and coordination. Its convenient location, combined with the availability of PROINPA to coordinate details in-country, made Cochabamba a logical choice for the meeting. |
