The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation (MAEC) has donated US$500,000 to fund Virtual Institute activities in Latin America and Least Developed Countries (LDCs) for the next two and a half years.
The UNCTAD Virtual Institute (Vi) and its sister programmes, the Course on Key International Economic Issues and TrainForTrade (TFT), are sad to announce the death of Brazilian professor, Mario Ferreira Presser, who throughout the years lent his invaluable expertise to the achievement of the programmes' goals.
