6 The second meeting in Stuttgart (October 11-13th, 2000) was organized as part of the 17 Coloquin on Latin American Geology, attended by nearly 300 scientists from countries in South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia), Central America (Costa Rica, Mexico), North America (USA), Europe (Italy, France, Germany, United Kingdom, etc.) and Cuba. Presented were 12 talks and 13 posters about the geology, paleontology and plate tectonics of the Caribbean, and a round table was organized to discuss important issues concerning the origin and evolution of the Caribbean Plate. The third meeting was a field workshop on the Northern Caribbean Plate Boundary organized as part of the 4th Cuban Geological and Mining Congress (Havana, March 19-23, 2001). The workshop included both oral and poster presentations, focused mainly on the northern margin of the Caribbean plate in Cuba and its early geologic evolution. Participants came from Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, France, Great Britain, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, and USA. A field trip to Central Cuba was held immediately after the Congress, March 24 to 27, in order to visit critical areas in the vicinity of Camagüey, central Cuba, where the northern Caribbean plate boundary is well exposed. The fourth meeting was organized in Leicester, UK (April 23-24) as a Workshop on the Geochemistry of the Caribbean plateau and Cretaceous island arc terranes, and their implications for the geodynamics of the Caribbean. The Workshop hosted 35 participants from six countries (Colombia, United States, Italy, France, Germany and the UK). In addition, 30+ researchers from 5 other countries registered interest in the proceedings, but were not able to attend. The fifth meeting was celebrated as part of the 4 th North American Paleontological Covention (Berkeley June 26-july 2 nd ). The section chair (M. Iturralde-Vinent) was unable to attend the meeting because of last minute traveling complications. Several papers were presented concerning the paleontological data as a counter part to plate tectonic interpretation of the evolution of the Caribbean. The meeting was attended by about 15 persons, mostly from the USA. 2.4. Educational, training or capacity building activities N/A 2.5. Participation of scientists from developing countries We have been able to provide funding and fund seeking capabilities so a number of scientist from third world countries have been able to participate in the meetings, as is listed in the conference reports. 2.6.
