Scientific Cooperation Agreements
In addition to sponsoring programs in Panama, STRI maintains cooperative agreements with academic, governmental, and conservation organizations in tropical countries around the globe. Through these arrangements, we provide scientists and students with opportunities for research, collaboration, and the use of facilities.
STRI plays a role in supporting better management of tropical environments around the world by disseminating the results of our international research activities, thereby bridging the gap between scientists and policymakers.
