Thanks to an agreement signed between the National Council of Rectors of Costa Rica (CONARE) and the Superintendence of Telecommunications (SUTEL), the eduroam service joined the "Connected Public Spaces" program. This program aims at providing the population with free access to the Internet in 515 Zones of Wireless Internet (ZWI). To date, there are 301 ZWI of the 515 that the project includes.

With the aim of perfecting its portfolio of services, the Latin American Cooperation of Advanced Networks (RedCLARA) has opened a tender process for the contracting of solutions for Security Monitoring, which will be offered to its 14 National Networks in Latin America and, through of them, to more than 2000 institutions.

After the Assembly and Directory held from December 3 to 5, 2019 in the city of La Serena, Chile, the members of the renewed structure of the Directing Council met by videoconference, on March 2, 2020, to choose those who will occupy the different positions of its structure. RedCLARA work team and members want to thank the work and commitment of Carlos Casasús, who was president of its Board of Directors for the last six years, guiding the transition process lived in 2017.

RedCLARA has a new member. At the end of December 2019, the Latin American Cooperation of Advanced Networks and the National Network of Advanced Higher Education of Honduras (RedNESAH) signed the agreement of affiliation of the Honduran institution to the regional network*. But how was RedNESAH born? What are its challenges in Honduras and how can RedCLARA help in this process? We talked about these and other issues with Dr. Patricia Hernández Cañadas, Executive Director of Technology Management of the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) and Executive Manager of the Honduran NREN.

The EUNIS2020 Conference, which will bring together ICT and Higher Education Institutions leaders from around the world on April 22, in Malaga, Spain, extended its early-bird registration period (with discounted rates) until March 23.

RedCLARA is looking for a Meeting Solution to add to the portfolio it offers to its 14 NREN in Latin-America and their 1.000+ Institutions. The tender will close in February 7, 2020.
