The Latin American Center for Informatics Studies (CLEI), founded in 1974, and based in Santiago, Chile, is a non-profit institution, which brings together Latin American universities and research centers, interested in working together in the area of research and teaching in computer science.

According to Professor César Collazos, the CLEI is configured as a point of contact between researchers and teachers on the continent, giving them facilities for the development and development of computing and data processing in the region. He also stressed that the institution in question regularly organizes an annual event that is the ‘Latin American Informatics Conference’, by the way, a very interesting and important meeting point between specialists.
