(By: Carolina Muñoz, REUNA) Today cutting-edge research is only possible through collaboration by sharing human and material resources to generate new knowledge. Many of the major international scientific projects generate such amount of data that it would be impossible for a single institution to process them within a reasonable time. Facing this scenario, the logical solution has been the integration several smaller institutions into a network where they share their resources through a mutual collaboration.

More than 1,000 physicians were trained remotely in Mexico during a single event in 2015 by using high-definition videoconferencing technology and advanced academic networks. Training on this scale aims to improve health outcomes for more people across the country.
