“RedCLARA is a dream come true. A dream we have worked hard for during many years.

These links will allow Latin America and, in the future, the Caribbean to be better partners for top-level European networks and to better participate thus in joint researches funded either by the VII EU Frame Programme or other appropriate programmes.”
