We have been involved with different projects. Our institute collaborates with Indigenous peoples, traditional communities, civil society, researchers, and institutions to promote:
- Indigenous Data Sovereignty
- Free, Prior and Informed Consent in data governance
- Ethical and inclusive digital infrastructure
We co-create projects that advance fair and accessible digital era across Latin America. Our work is grounded in collaboration, trust, and long-term impact.

We have contributed to sessions at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), Science Summit UNGA79, UN Data Forum and others, bringing different perspectives to global discussions on data, environment, and digital rights.
4- Training & Materials
We produce accessible guides, infographics, and webinars to build legal and technological capacity globally.
