From September 22 to 26, the Latin American Conference on High Performance Computing (CARLA 2025) took place in Kingston, Jamaica. Since 2014, this international event has brought together the High Performance Computing (HPC) community from Latin America and around the world to share advances, ideas, and applications in the field.

Every October, Cybersecurity Awareness Month reminds us of the importance of staying safe online and protecting our personal data, contributing to a more secure digital environment. Since 2004, this global initiative has educated individuals and organizations on ethical digital practices and the protection of their online assets. This year, academic networks across the Americas are joining forces to provide training on relevant cybersecurity topics from the beginning of October through the end of the year.

The series opens with the seminar “From Digital Deception to Institutional Resilience: Deepfakes, Social Engineering, and the Strategic Response of CSIRTs,” organized by RedCLARA.

As the event in San José, Costa Rica approaches, the favorable news keeps coming: TICAL2025 has opened its call for posters, a unique opportunity for researchers, professionals, and academics from across Latin America and the Caribbean to present their most innovative projects during the conference, which will be held from November 11 to 13, 2025. Under the theme “Innovation That Transforms,” TICAL2025 positions itself as the ideal space to share advancements, build collaborative networks, and provide international visibility to initiatives shaping the region’s digital future.

The BELLA II project, implemented by RedCLARA and co-funded by the European Union, was presented as a strategic initiative to reduce digital gaps and strengthen regional connectivity during the EU-LAC Digital Alliance Week 2025. The initiative aims to integrate countries such as Peru, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador into RedCLARA’s digital ecosystem, positioning itself as a driver of development, inclusion, and academic and scientific cooperation between the two regions.

RedCLARA and LNET announce the launch of the Early Adopters Blockchain LATAM Program, an initiative designed to create spaces for developing and testing new solutions, validating pilots, training teams, and building success stories that are born and strengthened locally, in direct response to the needs of Latin America.
