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 80% funded by the European Commission, and has 4 European and 19 Latin American partners, including the Latin American research networking association CLARA. The ALICE project will last until the end of May 2006 and is managed by DANTE.
