With the goal of strengthening the digital ecosystem and promoting innovation in Latin America and the Caribbean, Peru’s Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) and RedCLARA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on February 4, focused on the development of telecommunications and information and communication technologies (ICT).

Costa Rica will be the host of the next edition of TICAL in 2025, reaffirming its position as a key center for digital transformation in Latin America and the Caribbean. This event, which will bring together experts, academics, and leaders from the tech sector, will foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between academic and scientific institutions in the region.

RedCLARA participated in the Preparatory Seminar for the VI Latin America and the Caribbean–European Union (ALC-EU) Academic Summit, held in Costa Rica on January 30 and 31. This meeting was crucial for advancing the creation of a common space for higher education, science, technology, and innovation between both regions, with the goal of developing an academic integration agreement.

Can you imagine running complex climate simulations or processing large volumes of data in just minutes? This is made possible by the HPC (High-Performance Computing) testbed of the BELLA II project, implemented by RedCLARA and co-funded by the European Union (EU). RedCLARA designed this specialized environment to experiment, develop, and evaluate applications requiring intensive computational performance.

As part of its commitment to strengthening cybersecurity in academic and research environments, RedCLARA, together with the Regional Cybersecurity Group of Research and Education Networks of Latin America and the Caribbean (eduLACSeg), is organizing the webinar, "Implementing pDNSSOC: Strategies for DNS Security through Collaboration".

Just as the pieces of a puzzle fit together to form a complete image, the global research and education network relies on collaboration between networks, organizations, and people around the world. In November 2024, an experiment conducted at the Supercomputing Conference (SC24) in Atlanta, United States, demonstrated how these global research and education connections work together effectively.
