On 28 July 2023 the new facilities where the GLACIER Mexico Real Lab will be housed were officially inaugurated in Mérida, Yucatán (Mexico). This research unit will welcome national and international mobility researchers and postgraduate students.

The new facilities have been conceived to promote collaborative work around major challenges in sustainability, including emergent infectious diseases with a one health approach. Facilities include computational and laboratory equipment. Funding for the building was from UNAM and equipment was acquired through different national and international sources, including CONACyT and DAAD (through GLACIER). National and international researchers, students (of different levels), postdoctoral researchers and scholars will benefit from the use of such facilities and the interactions and collaborations that they will prompt.
