ARENET
The Americas Research Network
We promote and foster international exchange and collaboration among scholars, students, institutions, organizations, and communities through innovative research, education, and outreach programs across the Americas.
The Americas Research Network (ARENET) is a consortium of institutional members committed to promoting international collaboration in research, education, and outreach across the Americas.
Founded in 1998, ARENET has established permanent facilities in Mexico City and Washington, DC, fostering connections throughout the region. As a nonprofit organization, ARENET receives funding from diverse public and private sources.
What we've done
and continue to do
The Americas Research Network’s core priorities are advancing research, fostering collaboration, and ensuring open access and promoting outreach and public engagement.
We achieve this by offering fellowships, travel grants, and other resources to scholars and graduate students across the Americas, enabling them to conduct impactful research. Our goal is to generate outcomes that go “beyond the paper,” creating materials, documentaries, seminars, and conferences that engage and share knowledge in innovative ways.
Above all, ARENET is committed to returning acquired knowledge to the communities on which research is based, honoring a mission to give back and respect the knowledge shared with us.

Cultural Heritage
"I believe this profound level of active, collaborative learning ARENET fostered can only happen when scholars build meaning together in person on location. I cannot overstate my support for their continuing work in connecting faculty across disciplines, languages, and countries."
