The Colloquium "Education, digital technology, social cohesion and public policies" will be held on June 8 and 9 in Paris, with the participation of the Executive Director of RedCLARA, Luis Eliécer Cadenas. The event is organized by the Institut des Amériques in collaboration with the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs (MEAE), the Europe Foundation – Latin America and the Caribbean (EU-LAC) and the Agence française de développement (AFD) as part of Latin America and the Caribbean Week.

Are the poles the final frontiers of research and education (R&E) networking? While there is an array of terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric instruments that stream data to R&E networks - and thus to researchers worldwide - polar research instruments and the valuable data they collect remain disconnected from the global web of R&E networks. Given the tremendous importance of polar regions in understanding climate change, what are the technical, political, and research implications of connecting the Arctic and Antarctica to the global research and education network?
