This agreement allows us, as a foundation, to work on the dissemination of material on Antarctic and subantarctic glaciological topics, expanding our informative and educational content outside of what is exclusively the continental territory. Together with CIGA, educational, informative, training, collaborative, expository and promotional experiences will be developed, so we invite you to continue keep getting infomed with us about these and future developments.
We are pleased to make this type of alliances, since it strengthens our dissemination objectives and positions us as an organization of substantial influence, contributing to achieving what is of real importance to us at this time: Protect the glaciers of our country.
