RedCLARA achieved a significant milestone in 2024. Beyond celebrating 21 years of work, the organization continued to strengthen its role as a key enabler of the digital ecosystem in Latin America and the Caribbean, laying the foundation for a new strategic phase to foster a more connected, innovative, and sustainable region.
The academic and research community is preparing for TNC25, one of the most relevant conferences of the year in the field of advanced research and education networks in Europe and worldwide. The event will take place at the Brighton Dome, in Brighton, United Kingdom, from 10 to 13 June 2025.
With high environmental impact technological proposals, three teams secured the top positions in the Hackathon “Tracing the Source: Satellite Innovation in Identifying Pollutant Sources in the Motagua River Basin” , an initiative organized by Academia Copernicus Guatemala, led by the National Secretariat of Science, Technology, and Innovation (SENACYT) of Guatemala and the University of the Valley of Guatemala, with the participation of the European program Copernicus, and supported by RedCLARA within the framework of the BELLA II program.
In a landmark step to strengthen science, education, and innovation in Latin America, the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Peru (MTC) has announced its collaboration with the BELLA II project—an initiative led by RedCLARA and co-financed by the European Union—that will link the country regionally and with Europe via a high-capacity fiber-optic network.
RedCLARA invites strategic stakeholders from the telecommunications, digital infrastructure, and financing sectors to participate in the BELLA II project's Competitive Dialogue process. This emblematic initiative, co-funded by the European Commission (Contract NDICI LA/2022/438-964), aims to consolidate a robust digital ecosystem linking Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe.
RedCLARA will participate in the international event “48 Hours for Life – Honey and Code,” which will take place on May 17 and 18, in celebration of World Bee Day. This collaborative marathon will bring together participants from various disciplines to create content, proposals, and ideas aimed at protecting pollinators, ensuring biodiversity traceability, and strategically using emerging technologies.
