It is the first intercontinental digital partnership agreed between both regions under Global Gateway investment strategy, the EU’s offer for trusted and sustainable connections with partner countries.

The event was organized by the Latin American Cooperation of Advanced Networks, RedCLARA, composed of National Research Networks (NRNs) representatives. The Uruguayan Advanced Network (RAU) hosted the dialogue.

Officials from Latin America and the Caribbean discussed the value of digital tools for the academic community, the importance of global alliances and the role of NRNs as articulators of this whole process. The aim was to determine the key elements to build a common development agenda based on digital, among other topics.
