RedCLARA's Users
ALICE fosters research and education collaborations, both within Latin America, and between Latin America and Europe. Already, RedCLARA is enabling the development of projects that are a collaboration between European and Latin American researchers, with several proposals for projects in high-energy physics, astronomy and biodiversity put forward to the European Commission’s Information Society Technologies programme during 2005.
ALICE is supporting the work of a large number of projects, including:
- EELA (E-Infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America), a project aiming to deploy and potentially develop grid applications in e-learning, biomedical science and particle physics, while also creating a human network in grids, e-science and e-infrastructures
- AugerAccess, a feasibility study into the upgrading of the Pierre Auger Cosmic Ray Observatory in western Argentina’s connection from its site in Malargue to Mendoza, in support of the Observatory’s international collaboration with European institutions
- EXPReS, a radio astronomy project, which aims to expand the scope of eVLBI (electronic Very Long Baseline Interferometry) throughout Europe and beyond. Via the Chilean research network REUNA, RedCLARA connects the TIGO radio observatory in Chile to the other EXPReS partners
- T@lemed, a telemedicine project that aims to bring some of the essential healthcare services available in a large, general hospital to outlying districts, using specialist equipment and software developed by Medcom at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany, and the Brazilian national research network, RNP
- Opera Oberta, a program which streams live operatic performances from the Liceu in Barcelona to students at nearly 50 universities, including institutions in Chile and Mexico
- @LIS-TECHNET, a live running network populated by autonomous software components that are able to dynamically interact with one another and provide a teaching and experimentation environment to the network’s users
- RINGrid, an architecture to integrate remote instrumentations (such as gas chromatographs, powerful microscopes and radio telescopes) with wider eInfrastructure initiatives.
