The ALICE (America Latina Interconectada Con Europa) project was set up in 2003 to develop the RedCLARA network, which provides IP research network infrastructure within the Latin American region and towards Europe. It is managed by DANTE, and is 80% funded by the European Commission. It has 4 European and 19 Latin American partners, including the Latin American research networking association CLARA.

Owing to its success, the ALICE project has been extended until 31 March 2008 from its original end date of May 2006.
