The Latin American-Caribbean Centre (LACC)
Since 1993, The Latin American-Caribbean Centre (LACC) has facilitated strategic engagement between The University of the West Indies (The UWI) and the Latin American and Caribbean regions. We help build bridges of understanding and cooperation between Latin American and Caribbean countries to frame higher education strategies for sustainable regional development and strengthened community relations.
LACC's work is organised across networking, capacity-building and other strategic actions for internationalization, coordination and revenue generation. Through this agenda, LACC facilitates The UWI’s forging of sustainable and impactful partnerships with tertiary level institutions and networks, governments and agencies within Latin America and the Caribbean.
