| Abstract |
With funding provided by Microsoft Research, the Inter-American Development Bank and selected universities from the region, the LACCIR Federation promotes collaborative research in ICT and computer science within Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The focus is on applications for social and economic needs that are common throughout the LAC region. LACCIR aims to generate leverage between research teams and validate and generalize the research outcomes and their transfer to the society at large. This scientific collaboration allows researchers to address common problems and 0pportunities for the region. Thus, regional scientific collaboration becomes a possible source of solutions for its own social and economic needs. This paper describes the LACCIR organization, its main activities and some selected on-going research initiatives. |
