LA Referencia announced the release of the new version of the aggregator of scientific publications, with features that add even more value to the service: end users can now perform their search among thousands of integrated papers in a multilingual environment, with simple routes for navigation and an adaptive interface for mobile devices.
The year has come to an end and brought with it the latest edition of the DeCLARA bulletin. In its version of number 40, the publication presents, as always, relevant content that will help you to understand the ICT environment in Latin America. Our cover story is about the choice of Viña del Mar, in Chile, to host the TICAL2015. Also known as "Garden City", Viña will receive the Latin American ICT directors from July 6 to 8 of 2015. The call for papers for the meeting is already opened.
DeCLARA also brings an important report on the Strategic Plan 2014-2018 of RedCLARA, with explanations about the prospects of the Network for the next three years, reports about the participation of the advanced networks in the Football World Cup in Brazil and about the union of TERENA and DANTE in Europe, as well as an interview with Javier de la Plaza, from Telefónica, talking about the importance of TICAL for the ICT environment. DeCLARA wishes you happy holidays and a great read!

In the framework of the TICAL Conference, for the second year, RedCLARA and the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) of Latin America, will conduct a session bringing together young students and researchers who are developing innovative technology-based projects, and leading companies in the area, in order to publicize new developments and visualize ways to advance the process of innovation. For each work/development selected to be featured in TICAL2015, the event organizers will provide one (1) airfare to Chile (round trip) and conference registration for one of the authors.
A meeting held during the last December 12th, in Rio de Janeiro, set the final details of a project that will benefit the entire Latin American community of advanced networks: the deployment of the Escola Superior de Redes (ESR, or Superior School of Networks, in english) of Colombia, which will be inaugurated on February 13th of 2015.
The network, which will be installed between Cerro Pachón, in La Serena, and Santiago (Chile), will enable bandwidths of up to 100 Gigabit per second, capacity required by the telescope when it is in operation.
The TNC2015, conference organized by GÉANT annually, will only happen in June of the next year, but it has some news for those who are interested in participating. The registration for the event is already open, and with discounts.
