With the aim of promoting the integration between the different actors of the ICT universe in Ecuador and sharing the best practices and lessons, establishing collaborative initiatives in the area, will take place between November 21 and 23, at the National University of Chimborazo, in the city of Riobamba, the sixth edition of the TIC.EC Conference, organized by the Ecuadorian network RedCEDIA.

RedCLARA publishes and shares with its entire community of researchers and academics from Latin America and the world, its 2017 Annual Report.

To be held between November 1 and 3, 2018, the 1st International Conference on Applied Informatics (ICAI) extended its call for papers until June 8.

How did start the story that led an Argentine to move his family - with three very little children - to live in Australia and become a kind of rock star in the world of ICT and within it, in the complex university scene? It started with his need of offering a better quality of life to his family. That is what led William Confalonieri in a journey that, among other things, made him winner of the CIO of the Year at the Australian Executive Awards (CEO Magazine) in 2016, and two years later of the same award, granted by IT News, recognizing the Deakin Genie project as Australia’s top IT project. In September he will be one of the main characters of the plenary sessions that will gather TICAL2018 and the 2nd Latin American e-Science Meeting in the Las Americas Convention Center, in Cartagena de Indias, which is the reason why we invited him to have this conversation that we know will awaken your desire to know him and to be awaiting the chance of learning from his experience.

His website has his name and there you can find all the posts and studies in which he has worked, his videos, interviews and scientific publications, besides, of course, social network content. Our interviewee is probably the strangest "fish" in the waters of TICAL and the e-Science Meeting because, unlike all those who have passed through the plenary sessions until now, he does not come from the world of ICT or of the "hard" sciences, but from the humanities; in fact he is Professor of Communications at the University of California (Davis, USA). This is one of the activities of Martin Hilbert, Big Data expert who will go to TICAL2018 to share his experience in using the big data for the development of complex models and public policies.

RedCLARA's new graphic guidelines, which resulted in a new brand and new website, also reached the quarterly newsletter of the regional network. And the already traditional DeCLARA now has a new “face”, more modern and clean, keeping the good content about the most important facts the Latin American ICT universe in recent months.
