The Latin American and Caribbean University Telemedicine Network (RUTE-ALC) launched its 2026 session cycle with a meeting focused on reflecting on the role of National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), members of RedCLARA, in advancing digital health.
The meeting brought together representatives from fourteen research and education networks from around the world in Chile, with the aim of strengthening international collaboration on key issues for the scientific and academic community.
Research, innovation, and technology development teams from Latin America and the Caribbean are invited to apply for the BELLA II Bioinformatics and Artificial Intelligence (BIO+IA) Testbed Early Adopters Programme, a regional initiative that promotes projects that use artificial intelligence to analyze molecular interaction networks.
Digital cooperation between Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean has advanced significantly in recent years through various policy dialogue platforms, scientific initiatives, and joint innovation projects. Yet one key challenge remains: how to translate these conversations into concrete and sustained cooperation.
Within the framework of the BELLA II programme, RedCLARA will hold the launch webinar of the Early Adopters Programme for the Bioinformatics and Artificial Intelligence (BIO+AI) Testbed on 11 March. The initiative aims to promote the strategic use of the regional platform to strengthen research projects in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The SUBMERSE Consortium, together with its 25 partners, invites the scientific, academic, and industrial communities to take part in the SUBMERSE Project Final Event. This gathering will explore the future of using subsea fiber optic cables as an observation tool (submarine cables used as sensors to capture information from the ocean and the seafloor) and its potential to advance research in Europe.
