28 institutions, 11 countries
TAMBO is an international collaboration with a strong Peruvian core. The project's Templeton Grant is currently led by Carlos Argüelles (Harvard University) and Jaco de Swart (University of Cambridge).
Nearly half of TAMBO's institutions are Peruvian, and the project aims to help develop a major scientific facility in the country.
