After all, what are and what is the role of the academic networks? Undoubtedly, many people asked themselves those questions one day.  To answer and deepen the knowledge of the general public about the NRENs,  the Ecuadorian advanced network RedCEDIA prepared a video  that explains in a simple way the work in that country and thus help in the comprehension on how academic networks operate in all Latin America.

There is growing recognition worldwide that our substantial global investments in research have much greater impact if they are widely shared and openly available to everyone. LA Referencia, OpenAIRE and COAR reaffirm their strong support for a shared vision of a global network of repositories as fundamental infrastructure for providing sustainable and open access to research outputs, ensuring that all researchers and citizens have access to the results of publicly funded research.
