FUNREDES in VENEZUELA
Because one of the regional
offices of FUNREDES is located in
Venezuela, no wonder that numerous actions take place directly or
indirectly in connection with this country.
So is the case of a long way of
relations with the National Consulting of Scientific and
Technological Investigations (Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones
Científicas y Tecnológicas, CONICIT), in its condition
as owner of the academical and scientifical telematic network,
inicial known as the 'Sistema Automatizado de Información
Científica y Tecnológica, SAICYT' and earlier known as
the 'Red Académica Cooperativa de Centros de
Investigación y Universidades Nacionales, REACCIUN'
P.
Liendo was member of the Assisting Group
Ad Hoc of SAICYT and of the Directive Committee of REACCIUN in two
opportunities.
FUNREDES contributed distributed information about
SAICYT to the english-speaking world: See "The
SAICYT of Venezuela" (P. Liendo,
Internet Society News, Vol.1, No.2, 92)
Sometimes it was considered more convenient
first to show the profound reflexions of REACCIUN in a written
form before the authorities of CONICIT and before a public
opinion: See "About
the Academic Network of the Center of Investigation and National
Universities, REACCIUN", P. Liendo,
July 1995), letter directed to the president of CONICIT for his
consideration and its announcement.
Actually, FUNREDES goes on with conversations
to offer technical advice to REACCIUN in special areas.
FUNREDES integrated itself in the group of
institutions which finally founded the Latin American Network
School (Escuela Latinoamericana de Reded, EsLaRed). P. Liendo was
member of the Organization Committee of the second Latin American
Network School, opened in Mérida, Venezuela in Nov. 95. See
the
program of the second Latin American Network
School.
Together with the Panamerican Federation of
Faculty Associations of Medicine (Federación Panamericana
de Asociaciones de Facultades de Medicina, FEPAFEM), FUNREDES
participated in the formulation of different initiatives
like:
The petroleum industry of Venezuela
contracted the services of FUNREDES to realize a sensibilization
program in the field of the Emergent Information and Communication
Technologies. This was directed to the office of PEQUIVEN, a filial of the petrol complany of Venezuela.
Later it was contacted by CORPOVEN and it is found
in conversations with the CIED for similar initiatives.
P. Liendo, as character of the regional
director of FUNREDES, forms part of the editorial consulting group
of the 'Foro de Informació' magazine. In its third number
appeared the article "New Communication Environments". The ideas
where inicially expressed in the following event: "A compass to
the Internet and the Cyberspace", CELARG. Caracas, Venezuela, Nov
