On 23 February the Co-Directors of ANCLAS had a productive meeting with Latin American Ambassadors at the Embassy of Guatemala. After the limitations on “live” events over the past two years the meeting provided an excellent opportunity to review ANCLAS activities undertaken in 2021 - and to exchange views on themes for potential research and other activities between ANU and Latin American counterparts in 2022. Proposals ranged inter alia from climate change to agri-tech, regional economic integration organisations to mobility and migration.
