A strong NREN, like CEDIA, is key to a flourishing research and innovation sector!

The process of Divulga Ciencia was totally professional, clear and very efficient.
Research in science and technology is not a sport, it is not a football game where you win and lose, in this there is no word 'failure', that is for those who play to win or lose and here we are not playing, here we are constantly working and researching and the only failure is to stop doing it.
The support provided by CEDIA, economic, technological, and human, is of great value, and will surely help improve the results of the research processes.
Red CEDIA has been very important in my career in Ecuador.
The only way we can be internationally competitive is by developing solid research processes that allow us to generate advances in different areas of both, production and scientific innovation.
We should trust in the capabilities of Ecuadorian researchers. From each of our research centers we can perform science and solve problems in our society.
Red CEDIA has come a long way and has clear goals in terms of research, networks, support, and training.
I have benefited from programs such as Divulga Ciencia, CEPRA and CECIRA to carry out activities and to materialise ideas and projects that have been developed out thanks to the invaluable support of CEDIA through these programs.
Scientific research, technology, and innovation are the only answer and solution for society, humanity, and for our country to face its problems, challenges, and evils.
CEDIA is an alternative to the development of research and academia in Ecuador. Its processes are agile, which allows research to be unhindered by the excessive administrative processes that sometimes exist in academic institutions.
It is motivating to know that more and more research is being promoted and carried out in Ecuador and through CEDIA.
What we have developed is an ecosystem of solutions to solve the approach of digital education.
CEDIA is an institution that helps research projects by financing them, which has greatly supported this field.
Through CEDIA I meet several fellow researchers and we learn about what everyone else does, we invite each other to events. There is a greater and better interaction between researchers.
A very sincere thanks to the executive director and to the Red CEDIA team, they do an extraordinary job. I hope we can continue working together for several more years.
