    The Yucatan Initiative Project (YIP) was established to foster international collaborations of faculty and students between Texas A&M University (TAMU) and member institutions of the Yucatan Research Consortium (SIIDETEY) in the state of Yucatan, Mexico. The YIP was developed to identify knowledge gaps, set research challenges, organize submission of proposals and securing seed funding aimed at producing economic development in both states in the U.S. and Mexico respectively. The Yucatan Initiative Project, now in its 7th consecutive year, has shown to be a successful model for international collaboration to address regional problems and increase exposure for student's global competencies.
