The AMERICAS portal was launched today with the aim to be a central point of reference on ICT cooperation between Latin America and Europe. AMERICAS is the third of a series of EU FP7-ICT funded projects to support sustainable ICT policy dialogues and foster ICT R&D cooperation between the EU and strategic partner countries in Latin America. The AMERICAS project covers all countries with a bi-lateral S&T Agreement with the EU (Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico) plus Colombia.
Key activities foreseen are:
• One-day Master Class in each Latin America target country (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Colombia) to familiarise potential partners with EU funding mechanisms.
• Two Project Angels summer schools to reinforce the existent Project Angels Network in Latin America.
• Support of the ICT policy dialogue between the EU and Latin America through an Annual ICT Forum, the first being scheduled for 16 March 2012 in Santiago de Chile.
• Develop synergies between e-Infrastructures and ICT activities in Latin America
