A wonderful session, that is how we define the plenary on Tuesday, August 31, the second day of TICAL2021 Conference and the 5th Latin American e-Science Meeting, events that are taking place from Monday 30 August until Thursday 2 September in virtual and free of charge format, bringing together ICT authorities from Latin American universities and researchers from Latin America, Europe and North America.

In the route towards the IDB Lab Forum, LACChain , the Global Alliance for the development of the blockchain ecosystem in Latin America and the Caribbean is getting ready to encourage the use of blockchain technology in the region.

At this week’s TICAL2021 Conference the BELLA Programme celebrated the first transfer of data between the GÉANT and RedCLARA networks across the 6,000km EllaLink submarine cable that runs between Lisbon, Portugal and Fortaleza, Brazil, bringing to life a 10-year dream held by governments and partner organisations from the research and education networking communities across Europe and Latin America.

RedCLARA is starting the development of the COLABORATORIO 2.0 project and is looking for interested parties to be part of a team of four interns to carry out the development and configuration of the platform's tools.

With the participation of Thomas Skordas, Director of the Directorate of "Digital Excellence and Scientific Infrastructure" of DG CONNECT of the European Commission, Thomas Skordas, the Vice Minister of Science, Technology and Innovations of Brazil, Sergio Freitas, and the Executive Director of RedCLARA, the connectivity of the BELLA Programme was inaugurated during the opening ceremony of the eleventh version of the TICAL Conference, and of the 5th version of the Latin American e-Science Meeting that will be developed jointly and online until September 2 of 2021.

In order to support and encourage the development of technological innovation projects with an emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI) that contribute to solving priority problems, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) invites all national research and technological development groups and groups of society in general linked to the academic sector to present research projects that require high-performance computing resources for the execution of AI algorithms with an impact on social sectors in vulnerable conditions.
