Objectives:

To establish a Videoconference network using freeware software and commercial equipment. The ultimate goal is to use this Videoconference network to encourage the participation of each NREN in academic events in Latin America, Europe and other countries that have access to advanced networks.

We also intend to know about all the resources that RedCLARA members have for a better use of the Videoconference network; to carry out technical, management and administration coordination through this VC network. Finally, we wish to establish a real-time link medium between all Latin American researchers and their counterparts in Europe, Asia, the USA and Canada in order to coordinate and execute research and technological development projects.

The short-term projection of the VC-WG is to have a Videoconference network that offers the means for RedCLARA researchers to have the technological mechanisms to maintain their communications with other researchers so as to propose new research projects and thus turn the network into a sustainable one.
