What were research and education networks born for?
A Research and Education network usually offers:
• A high-speed backbone network
• Dedicated channels for individual research projects
• A good environment for testing new Internet protocols and architectures http://www.terena.org/activities/development-support/r+e-faq/general.html#about
Anella Científica: e-Infrastructure
Anella Científica is the research and
education network in Catalonia
It’s an e-Infrastructure
Managed by CSUC
Connected to RedIRIS
With more than 80 institutions related
to research in many fields
Géant, the Pan-European Research an Education Network
The GÉANT network is
cofunded by the European
Commission within its 7th R&D
