Overview
This flagship project consists in scaling up the EU support to Regional and National Research and Education Networks (RRENs-NRENs). It supports their delivery of high-speed digital connectivity networks, e-services and data infrastructures for the benefit of research and education communities. This project is key for the digital transformation of the research and education sector in Africa and for increasing research/scientific collaboration within Africa and with the rest of the world.
Main project activities include the strengthening and enhancement of the African RRENs and NRENs through capacity building; the expansion, upgrade and maintenance of high-speed digital connectivity networks provided by RENs to the benefit of the Research and Education institutions; as well as the provision by RENs of digital services, data infrastructures for storage, management analysis, exchange and re-use of research scientific data for the research and education community.
