The CollECTeR series of conferences (http://www.collecter.org/) was established to link EC research centres at nine universities in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and to form a basis for collaborative research in Electronic Commerce. Since its inception the CollECTeR group has grown to twenty institutions, including research centres in Great Britain, Slovenia and the United States.

CollECTeR (LatAm 2005) is an initiative of this inter university research group; this third CollECTeR conference in South America is organized by the Engineering Faculty of the University of Talca, Chile (www.utalca.cl). The CollECTeR Conference on Electronic Commerce for Latin America will be held from 3 October through 5 October 2005 in Talca, Chile, at the Casas Coloradas Hotel in the foothills of the Andes.
