            on last year’s success with the Workshop to identify areas of Scientific Collaboration between the US and the
            AMPATH Service Area, the First AMPATH International Conference
            seeks to further delve into the benefits of utilizing the AMPATH
            advanced networking infrastructure for scientific research and
            education.Valdivia,Chile
 
 Sponsored through a grant from the National Science
            Foundation (NSF), the main
            objective of the conference is to create an environment for AMPATH
            participants, potential participants and those with a regional,
            hemispheric or international interest in the project to exchange
            ideas, form new and solidify existing collaborations.             
            The
            conference will continue the work of identifying the universities
            and research centers in the AMPATH service area who require, or
            would take advantage of, high-performance connectivity to research
            institutions in the US and worldwide if it were available. Proposed
            speakers at the conference include researchers
            that participate in collaboratory projects between the
            U.S., Canada, the AMPATH service area, Europe and Asia/Pacific.
