The Chilean Research and Education Network (REUNA), gave details of the initiative that will allow the construction of a “digital bridge” that unites all research and higher education institutions in the southern macro-region with the country and the world, integrating them to the global networks on these issues.

The night of September 17, 2020, will be remembered as the one in which Africa and South America connected for the first time, through a BGP peer established between TENET (Tertiary Education & Research Network of South Africa) and RedCLARA.

Nicaragua and Honduras are now connected to RedCLARA. The connection took place on June 10 and August 18 and was succeeded by the start of the testing and sending of IP addresses of member institutions of RUNBA (academic network of Nicaragua) and REDNESAH (Honduran academic network) by BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) to the Latin American collaboration network.The Nicaraguan network concluded its process on September 21, allowing the National Agricultural University of Nicaragua (UNA) to transmit data through RedCLARA. This is how the long-awaited reconnection of Nicaragua to the Latin American network was established.
There were dozens of sessions, 15 key speakers, presentations of innovative works and workshops on the most varied topics. And now all this content from the TICAL2020 and the 4th Latin American e-Science Meeting sessions, which took place online between August 31 and September 3, is available online for the Latin American research and education community.

“When a friend leaves / A brand remains lit / That cannot be turned off / Not even with the waters of a river", Alberto Cortez.

Instead of conversations in the hallways, we had tweets. In the place of group photos, screenshots. And instead of farewell hugs, the immense desire to meet in person in 2021. The 10th edition of the TICAL Conference and the 4th of the Latin American e-Science Meeting came to an end on this Thursday 3rd. The event was held online since Monday, August 31, on the site tical2020.redclara.net, given the difficulties imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
