The boom of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the countless possibilities it opens up in the world of research and education inevitably brought an important question: How can National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) practically benefit from this technology revolutionizing the world? Among the many possible answers, a project from the Brazilian network, RNP, offers an exciting path: the virtual assistant Ipezinho.
"Never despise small beginnings" seems a fitting adage to describe the inception and impact of the Latin American Alliance for Capacity Building in Advanced Physics, or simply LA-CoNGA Physics, a project that has been working since 2020 to build capacity for the use of supercomputing in the study of astroparticles in the region.

Las estadísticas no mienten: en los últimos años se ha producido un aumento significativo de los ciberataques en todo el mundo. Empresas de todos los tamaños y sectores han sufrido atentados cada vez más sofisticados, que han provocado importantes pérdidas financieras y operativas. La historia no ha sido distinta en el sector de la educación superior, dónde algunas universidades han llegado a sufrir la paralización de sus actividades, la pérdida de datos sensibles y la interrupción de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje, entre otras consecuencias.

The Southern Macrozone of Chile is one third of the country’s surface and holds significant scientific potential with both national and global impact. It plays a strategic role in addressing the Climate Crisis and possesses global comparative advantages (Ice Fields, Antarctica, subantarctic and pristine territory). However, until recently, it was one of the few geographical areas on the planet disconnected from Global Research and Education Networks.
