Central America and the Caribbean (CAC) need science development effortsthrough ambitious projects that require strong regional collaboration.Inspiration can be drawn from initiatives in regions with similar problems. Thebottleneck is the scarcity of public research centers and little or no researchin private universities. An interesting proposal is the creation of a Dominican"Silicon Beach". The "Central American Science and Technology Fund" shouldfocus on objectives capable of attracting the attention of the non-academicsector, first and foremost policy makers, but also civil society in general.The successful experience of SESAME (" Synchrotron Light for ExperimentalScience and Applications in Middle East ") offers an interesting basis forreflection, as it allows scientific research and short-term practical andsocial applications. Only two of the more than 60 existing synchrotrons are inLatin America, both in Brazil. Together with other similar projects in theSouth, such as the African Light Source (AFLS), and with the support of SESAME,LNLS and other synchrotrons in the South, it could lead to interestingSouth-South cooperation, which could be supported by the European Union or theNSF.As David Gross reminded, Science drives Technology, Technology drivesInnovation, and this ends up in the welfare of society. A regional synchrotronmay be the way to make this a reality in the Great Caribbean Region, as a firsthistorical example of a large regional facility there.
