Communities
In pursuit of its mission of "strengthen the development of science, education, culture and innovation in Latin America through the innovative use of advanced networks," RedCLARA promotes the formation of research and/or regional innovation communities, and supports the work of those who are already established. For this, it not only relies on its powerful network infrastructure, but also offers its applications and services, all designed to enhance collaboration and networking.
WHAT IS A COMMUNITY?
A community is a group of experts (researchers and/or academics) from different parts of the world who share a common interest using ICT tools with the intention of developing joint initiatives to share good practices, experiences and the knowledge acquired in their area of work.
RedCLARA, in coordination with the Latinamerican national networks, provides and supports the work of the communities, acting as an articulator, strengthening the work of existing groups and supporting the generation of new groups.
BENEFITS OF BEING PART OF A COMMUNITY
- Get in touch with peers around the world
- Sharing good practices and experiences
- The opportunity to be part of initiated activities or to propose others that integrate members from different regions of the world
- Participate in activities of academic diffusion
Desde su implementación en 2004, RedCLARA ha impulsado la creación de cerca de un centenar de comunidades de investigación de carácter académico y ha potenciado la labor de comunidades de innovación, entre las que se encuentran TICAL (Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación de America Latina) y otras, que convocan a Directores de TI, personal técnico y académicos, en torno al uso de las TIC en centros de investigación, museos, hospitales universitarios, entre otras organizaciones ligadas a educación superior e investigación.
HOW TO BE PART OF A COMMUNITY?
To be part of an already established community, you must register at Colaboratorio and request your access to the group. If you need more information about the group, you can contact the community leader.
If you'd like to suggest a new community, please contact
