Participacjón Chilena De acuerdo a lo pianteado por REUNA en ci provecto. la Corporación comparte los objetvos del proyecto, pues coinciden con sus objetivos Lnstitucionales, esperando a través de su participación en ALICE: "aumentar de forma considerable y sustentable la conectividad de investigacion entre Chile y ci resto de las redes de investigacion de America Latina y con la red paneuropea GEANT. Esta conectividad se dedicará a la investigación, Ia educación, el desarrollo y La innovación y scrvirá de soporte para el desarrollo de proyectos colaborativos que usen tecnologIas de inforrnación y comunicaciones". De acuerdo a los objetivos planteados en el proyecto aprobado por ci PBCT y el avance del proyectos ALICE y la participación de Chile en ci provecto, se realiza un resumen de avance por objetivo. Sintesis Objetivo Desarrollo de proyectos Fort lecer la colaboraci6n Estado Chile se ha presentado a 6 proyectos de coiaboración que ban postulado a financiamiento europeo, en los cuales se ha incorporado a importantes instituciones nacionales, tanto REUNA como sus instituciones socias. Dc estos proyectos 3 han sido Enanciados, 2 rechazados y uno está en proceso de evaluación El detalle de la participación Chilena es: Aprobados • EEL\: Participación naciona] de UDEC, UTFSM y REUNA • Express: Participación nacional a través del Observatorio GeodCsico TIGO, que es un consorcio de Universidades. • ACLARA: Solo REUNA En Evaluacjón: • RING: Solo REUNA Rechazados • ALFAGRJD: UChile, UTA, UFRO, UDEC, IJTFSM y REUNA • Red-Cu): UTA. IJTEM, UChile y REUNA REUNA participa activamente en los Grupos de Trabajo, en 4 de 7, establecjdos en ci marco del proyecto. Esto genera un vinculo permanente entre REUNA y las Redes Académjcas avanzadas de Latinoamérica y Europa. Además REUNA estd liderando ci desarroilo e implementación del Plan de Relaciones Püblicas del proyecto, a través del cual se implementO ci web de Ia red latinoamerjcana yw.redchu.j.net , y se ejecutan una serie de actividades de difusión como holetines informativos y comunicados quc permiten estar al tanto de ]as actividades más relevantes que se desarrollan en ci marco del proyecto.
