One result was that <strong>the</strong> participants from Eastern Europe/Russia mostly<br />
interacted within <strong>the</strong>ir own group.<br />
3. How could we encourage more Latin American researchers <strong>to</strong> apply?<br />
Rationale: For <strong>the</strong> IHDW 2002 we had only 17 (!) applications of mostly very<br />
bad quality coming from Latin America (in contrast <strong>to</strong> about 80 coming from<br />
Asia). To reach approximate geographical balance we decided <strong>to</strong> choose 7 of<br />
<strong>the</strong>m (more so, since <strong>the</strong>y were generously founded by IAI), who<br />
unfortunately mostly confirmed <strong>the</strong> poor impressions we had before (in<br />
research quality <strong>and</strong> very poor English skills). This was in contrast <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
previous IHDW, which had very strong representation from Latin America.<br />
These questions are of high relevance for <strong>the</strong> organisation <strong>and</strong> structure of a capacity<br />
building workshop. It would be important for IHDP <strong>to</strong> discuss <strong>the</strong>ses issues with<br />
representatives from APN.<br />
