Can you imagine running complex climate simulations or processing large volumes of data in just minutes? This is made possible by the HPC (High-Performance Computing) testbed of the BELLA II project, implemented by RedCLARA and co-funded by the European Union (EU). RedCLARA designed this specialized environment to experiment, develop, and evaluate applications requiring intensive computational performance.

The 57th edition of our digital newsletter, DeCLARA, wraps up 2024, filled with advancements and key news that have marked the final months of the year. This final issue highlights the work and achievements in innovation, connectivity, and collaboration across Latin America and the Caribbean, underscoring the impact of initiatives driving the region's development.

Just as the pieces of a puzzle fit together to form a complete image, the global research and education network relies on collaboration between networks, organizations, and people around the world. In November 2024, an experiment conducted at the Supercomputing Conference (SC24) in Atlanta, United States, demonstrated how these global research and education connections work together effectively.

Held in Rio de Janeiro from December 3 to 5, the TICAL 2024 Conference reaffirmed its status as a key platform for strengthening and fostering collaboration among Latin America's National Research and Education Networks (NRENs). This gathering provided experts and leaders in technological services and cybersecurity with an opportunity to share knowledge, explore joint solutions, and advance a regional agenda in these critical areas.

GÉANT, the European research and education network, has announced that registration is open and calls for proposals are being launched for the Security Days 2025, which will take place from 8 to 10 April in Prague, Czech Republic. In its second edition, this conference seeks to bring together security experts from around the world linked to the research and education sectors.

Nearly 200 participants from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe attended the successful conclusion of the 2024 edition of TICAL, which took place at the Windsor Barra Hotel in Rio de Janeiro. During the event, technology experts, academic leaders, and representatives from key institutions discussed the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, open science, and cybersecurity on education, research, and healthcare.
