RedCLARA wishes all its members, friends and collaborators a Merry Christmas and a happy 2014 full of prosperity and success in each of their tasks and ventures.
María José López Pourailly
“Thanks to RedCLARA, Latin American researchers are now an integral part of the global research community. It is well known that high speed research networks encourage cross-border collaboration, creating a global scientific community that pools resources for more efficient and effective research. RedCLARA’s interconnection with Europe has created new opportunities for Latin American researchers to work with their European colleagues.”
María José López Pourailly
“RedCLARA’s work has been fundamental. Today, we are witnessing a radical change in the academic networks scenario in Latin America an its international connection. There are already 14 networks connected, while a few years ago the situation was quite different, with only 4 established networks connected to international academic networks. It is evident that this change has a favourable impact on collaboration actions that can be carried out within the region. Nowadays we can already interact by making use of those networks with many more institutions; work in joint regional projects and with other international counterparts.”.
