ELSNIT

CREI was a member of the Steering Committee of the Euro-Latin Study Network on Integration and Trade (ELSNIT) from its inception in 2002 until 2009. This network is sponsored by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and its aim is to create a forum in Europe on integration and trade issues relevant to Latin America and the Caribbean. The main objectives of ELSNIT are to generate research, studies and debate on these issues; draw on the rich European experience; and increase interaction between European and Latin American researchers.
