Strengthening Open Science & Academic Collaboration between Europe & Latin America

OpenAIRE, a leading European infrastructure supporting Open Science, and LA Referencia and REDClara, the Latin American federated network for open scholarly communication, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalize and deepen their decade-long collaboration in fostering Open Science and interoperability between Europe and Latin America.

For over ten years, LA Referencia has successfully participated in OpenAIRE projects, integrating its collection, adopting metadata standards, and incorporating OpenAIRE-developed technologies. This new MoU provides a more formalised and structured framework to expand joint technological developments, enhance interoperability standards, and share training resources on Open Science.
