Trans-Eurasia Information Network
• Oct 2000 Conceived at Asia Europe Summit Meeting • Nov 2001 Korea – France connected from 2 – 155 Mbits• Sept 2003 EU 10M Euro funding announced• April 2004 DANTE appointed to manage TEIN2• Nov 2004 Feasibility studies accepted by EC• Jan 2005 Tendering for TEIN2 regional network starts• Sept 2005 First contracts awarded• Jan 2006 TEIN2 network deployed
International Research Networking
• TEIN2 Network fully deployed
•Directly connects 10 Asia Pacific research communities and Europe
•TEIN2 PoPs in Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore
• Tokyo PoP provided co-operatively by Japanese networks
•TEIN2 NOC in Hong Kong provided by Tsinghua University

Critical Success Factors for TEIN3
1. TEIN2 is well used
2. Seamless transition
3. Coverage is maintained/increased
4. Transition to Asian ownership
5. Funding secured
International Research Networking1. TEIN2 is well used
• Medical Applications e.g. Tele-consultation between Australia and Vietnam
• Disaster warning e.g. Philippine Institute of Vulcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) + partners
• Oceanography e.g. ASEM Oceans Initiative• Climatology e.g. Philippine and German Weather Centres• Distance learning e.g. University of Health Sciences,
Cambodia and UPMC Medical School, Paris
Please help TEIN2 partners promote TEIN2 usage!
International Research Networking
2. Seamless Transition
• Essential to maintain existing TEIN2 applications and user confidence
• Could carryover existing TEIN2 network contracts while TEIN3 network is procured
International Research Networking
3. Coverage is maintained/increased
• First priority: maintaining existing TEIN2 coverage• Increase coverage where possible:
– New partners wishing to connect at own cost: will be encouraged
– New partners wishing to connect with external funding support: subject to sufficient project funding
• From ASEM to pan-Asian network?

4. Transition to Asian Ownership
• DANTE believes Asian ownership and management essential for long term sustainability
• (No DANTE Asian office!)• Various organisation models to be considered• TEIN3 partners need to want to work collectively• Planning needs to start now!• Transition should complete during 2008 to 2010
International Research Networking5. Funding Secured
• TEIN2 beneficiaries are 80% funded by EC, TEIN2 non beneficiaries are making net contributions at own cost
• Sources of funding for TEIN3– Asian partners (beneficiary
status)– Asian partners (non-
beneficiary status)– European Commission?– Other external funding
agencies?

Lobbying EC and partner governments
• Centrally- co-ordinated programme of political lobbying underway:– ASEM ICT Senior Officials 8 June 2006– ASEM6 Summit Meeting 9 Sept 2006– ASEM ICT ministers late 2006
• Vital that TEIN2 partners brief their representatives of the benefit of TEIN2 and the need to fund TEIN3 participation
• Strong support by EC for this course of action
