Technical Secretariat

The Technical Secretariat, based at the Center for Climate and Resilience Research (CR²) an institution that convenes researchers from the University of Chile (sponsoring institution), the University of Concepción, and the Austral University of Chile (associated institutions), provides technical leadership and ensures the integrity of RtR's operations.

  • Support coordination of the RtR Advisory Body (ERG and MAG).
  • Develop the Campaign Framework ensuring scientific soundness.
  • Maintain RtR reporting and progress monitoring.
  • Liaise with other frameworks such as the SAA and contribute with submissions to international events.
