The WAU 2025 Congress extends its heartfelt gratitude to the institutions in Guatemala and Mexico that support the organization of this significant event. What we refer to as the “Central Pacific” support is a cornerstone in our ongoing commitment to upholding the excellence standards of a worldwide scholarly gathering for anthropologists and social scientists.

The institutions supporting our efforts are:

• Centro de Investigaciones Multidisciplinarias sobre Chiapas y la Frontera Sur (CIMSUR), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)
• Centro de Investigaciones Regionales de Mesoamérica (CIRMA)
• El Colegio de Michoacán (COLMICH)
• Escuela de Historia, Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala (USAC)
• Departamento de Arquitectura, Facultad de Arquitectura y Diseño, Universidad Rafael Landívar (URL)
• Programa Universitario de Estudios de la Diversidad Cultural y la Interculturalidad (PUIC), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)

We are also in discussions with other institutions and are hopeful they will join us in supporting the WAU 2025 Congress.
