“RedCLARA is the accomplishment of the old dream of uniting Latin America through a network. As it was showed in the speeches of the ministers of Education and Culture of Uruguay in the launching event of RAU2, RedCLARA it has been promoted as a very important milestone of cooperation in LAC; in that sense, as the first achieved project.”
“Collaboration is about availability of high-speed networks, access to sophisticated computing e-Infrastructure, and sharing of resources and data-intensive applications”.
“RedCLARA fosters the regional development, the fusion of identities through the communications. Peru, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, etc., are countries with similar histories, cultures and idiosyncrasies, CLARA can unite them by the technology.”
“It becomes clear that the interconnection of RedCLARA and GEANT is a major success and that’s why it is important that we ensure its reinforcement and its extension in time and towards regions such as for example the Caribbean who are so eager to participate in this effort”. Commissioner Viviane Reding (current Vice-President of the European Commission) enclosing speech, IV EU-LAC Ministerial Forum on the Information Society, Lisbon, April 29, 2006.
This is the first of a cycle of activities that are being organized by RedCLARA and RedParaCrecer and will involve the participation of experts from Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela.
“RedCLARA seems to be service, but it is not. Think about it as a patrimony, a public benefit, national or regional, essential for our development.”
