Workshops
PRI workshops are of a world-class level and restricted to a
limited number of invited participants for the purpose of in-depth,
one-on-one interactions.
Though most PRI workshops are on mathematics, science, and technology,
the institute welcomes workshop proposals in other fields to promote interactions
with scholars and professionals outside science.
PRI strongly encourages its workshop participants from abroad
to have a cultural and nature-based experience while in Belize.
This may include visiting Belize's
lush tropical rain forest with its numerous species of exotic flora and fauna,
exploring majestic Mayan temples, snorkeling near its breathtaking barrier reef, or
immersing in the local culture by eating traditional Belizean dishes, dancing to
the distinct rhythms of the Garifuna drums, and
meeting some of the Creole, Garifuna, and Mestizo peoples.
See Visitor Information.
Policy on Smoking:
Smoking is not permitted
at PRI, including on the grounds.
