The TICAL 2016 Conference, that gathers the directors of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Latin American universities, has opened its call for submitting papers that propose solutions around the seven thematic axis: education, research support, management, extension and linking with the environment, administration and governance of ICT, infrastructure and information security. The conference is going to be held between September 13th and 15th of 2016 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Organised by RedCLARA, that connects the academic networks in Latin America, in collaboration this year with the argentine network InnovaRed, the TICAL Conference was created to share and support the use of ICT in the universities of the continent, enhancing their teaching, research, extension and management.

The papers will be selected from an analysis of the current situation and trends in the area. In the selection of the papers, some concepts are particularly privileged, such as the experiences, papers that describe executed or implemented services, not just ideas, focus on ICT, impact on university strategy and the classification by thematic area.

The papers must be submitted as Word documents and in strict alignment to the format established by the TICAL2016 Guide for Authors to the email tical@redclara.net.
