2. Duration The first three courses lasted 5 days; the fourth course lasted 6 days. These courses were held at the Main Campus of the University of Concepcion. ECODIM was held at the Marine Biological Station of the Department of Oceanography of the University of Concepcion in Dichato and lasted 20 days. Target groups: Graduate and senior undergraduate students from Chile and other Latin American countries. Selection was based on academic credentials. Although we favored the admission of students with experience (and focused) in the particular area of the course they applied to, we also accepted interested students with no background in the specialty. Students registered in Graduate Programs received two credits per course from the Graduate School at University of Concepcion. Students registered for ECODIM received 6 credits.

IV. Impact
Please describe shortly (one page maximum) the impact of the mentioned activities on the human, social, economic and cultural development at national, regional or international level. About 80 students were trained in specialized aspects of oceanography this year at the Austral Summer Institute of the UNESCO IOC Chair in Oceanography. Since this inception, the Chair was devoted to building capacity at the graduate level in the region and we will continue with. The success of the activity is shown first of all by the number of applications received, the interest shown by the student participants, and the willingness of renowned scientists worldwide to spend time with students of the South-American region. This has resulted in fruitful interaction of future scientists with top faculty members from around the world that opens up opportunities for graduate studies and collaborative research. V. Forthcoming activities The Chair will continue developing the Austral Summer Institute (ASI) at University of Concepción. We are currently evaluating possibilities of integrating this activity with those of Campus do Mar lead by Universidad de Vigo in Spain, and Stanford University. What is missing is the financial support that this Chair historically had and it was cut down a few years ago. I think that IOC-UNESCO should make all efforts to reinstate at least the USD 5000 of the endowment, that this year multiplied to USD 151,617 (see below). VI. Development prospects Please see Forthcoming activities above
