In accordance with its bylaws, the General Assembly of RedCLARA has elected the new authorities who will form the Board of Directors for the 2025–2027 term. This process reaffirms the organization’s commitment to responsible, transparent management aimed at strengthening digital cooperation and joint work among the countries of the region.

RedCLARA brings together and connects more than 8,000 higher education institutions and research centers across Latin America, facilitating collaboration among academic and scientific communities. Through its projects and services, it promotes initiatives that support knowledge exchange, innovation, research, and regional development.

The new Board of Directors is composed of:

• Treasurer: Juan Pablo Carvallo (CEDIA – Ecuador)

• Secretary: Carlos Gamboa (RedCONARE – Costa Rica)

• Board Member: Eduardo Grampin (RAU – Uruguay)

• First Alternate: Paola Arellano (REUNA – Chile)

The Fiscal Committee, responsible for overseeing the administration of the organization’s resources, was also appointed. It is composed of:

• Danny Silva (RedCONARE – Costa Rica)

• José Arivaldo Frazão (RNP – Brazil)

• Mariela De León (RAU – Uruguay)

The renewal of the Board marks a strategic moment for RedCLARA. The region is at a turning point, with stronger digital infrastructures, new scientific capabilities, and an academic community that grows and strengthens its connections every day.

For more than two decades, RedCLARA has demonstrated that connectivity, when placed at the service of cooperation, becomes a tool for expanding opportunities, closing gaps, and projecting countries toward a shared future. This new leadership arrives to guide that path: a network that not only connects countries but also ideas, talent, and purpose—driving more integrated and innovative regional development with greater opportunities for all.

With the appointment of its new Board of Directors and Fiscal Committee, RedCLARA reaffirms its commitment to continuing to strengthen cooperation, innovation, and the development of the Latin American academic community, advancing toward a more integrated and connected region.
