Meaningful connectivity ensures that all people and communities have access to the Internet and affordable and reliable digital technologies, contributing to bridging the digital divide, promoting equal opportunities, and empowering the most vulnerable groups. This will be the main theme of the next Strategic Dialogue of the BELLA II project, which will take place on 29 November in Cartagena, Colombia.
More than 50 representatives from government agencies, National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), universities and research centers, international organizations, companies, and financial institutions of the region participated in the third BELLA II Open Strategic Dialogue, in Panama City, on November 15th.
The role of RedCLARA and the NRENs in promoting science, technology, and innovation, and the importance of the BELLA II project in strengthening and consolidating a “human-centered” digital ecosystem in Latin America and the Caribbean were the main topics of the Webinar “Connectivity with Meaning: RedCLARA and advanced networks for STI”, held this Thursday, October 26, as part of the webinar series on Inclusion, Science, and Democracy, promoted by ISEED.
