Last Friday, the Supercomputing Center of Galicia (CESGA) and Balidea signed an agreement for the implementation of an ambitious educational innovation project, which aims to provide network infrastructure and services based on cloud computing in rural schools.

"Network of schools in the cloud" provides a model for infrastructure and services, as well as a methodology, all based on cloud computing, for teaching and collaboration between schools, creating a network in which educational experiences, materials and learning methods can be shared.

Spain's Ministry of Science and Innovation has granted  the consortium of companies formed by Balidea, Indra, InfoJC and Televés, co-financing for the creation of a system of integrated management for chronic patients. This grant comes from the program designed to promote stable cooperation between the public and private sectors in research and development, in areas deemed to be of strategic importance to the progress of the Spanish economy (the ERDF-INNTERCONECTA program).
