Join RedCLARA

RedCLARA is made up exclusively by National Research and Education Networks (RNIE). In fact, the countries that have NRENs in Latin America are all members of RedCLARA.

Countries that are not yet members of RedCLARA must establish their NREN in order to become members. These networks have a similar structure; and, although they vary in the type of institutions they serve, their common denominator is the participation of the country's universities and research centres. The participation of other sectors in them is desirable, including the government and private companies.

Only one NREN per country can be part of RedCLARA and, therefore, have a connection to the network.

If your country does not have an NREN, please contact us. It is RedCLARA's mission to support countries in establishing their networks. On this route, we will look for a way to guide you in the process of establishing the national network of your country. Write to us at: RedCLARA_Comunica@redclara.net.
