Third-party funding is an important instrument in strengthening and developing the IAI’s core areas—the library, research, and culture—and for purposes of the institute’s national and international networking. We have a wide range of projects supported by third-party funding, for example the Specialist Information Service “Latin America, Caribbean and Latino Studies”, the formal indexing and scholarly editing of posthumous papers, projects in the social sciences and humanities, and international conferences. Certain of these projects are presented here.
