PRI hosts workshops primarily on mathematics, science, and technology (see Activities). The institute will also consider workshop proposals outside these fields.

PRI workshops are of a world-class level and restricted to a limited number of participants for the purpose of in-depth one-on-one interactions.

PRI strongly encourages its workshop participants from abroad to have a cultural and nature-based experience while in Belize. This may include visiting Garifuna, Mayan, and Mennonite communities, as well as rain forest reserves, cayes, wildlife santuaries, Mayan temples, etc.
