EPI Visitors Program
According to guidelines that came out of the First EPI Annual Meeting, this program - also called “Enhance scientific and resource management exchange” - aims to identify existing exchange programs opportunities and generate partnerships to expand them to include EPI activities of interest. It also intends to develop plan for visits of scientists and managers from South America to Florida, and later in the opposite direction.

EPI will facilitate exchange by providing background information ahead of time, and by the use of the EPI web site. Separate visits focused strictly on scientific exchanges will be conducted, as well.
