Research Networks – providing new opportunities for global collaboration in all fields

Research networking started in early 1990’s to offer high speed, high quality Internet connections for research and education:

National level, run by National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), usually publicly funded

Increasing regional level networks e.g. GEANT, connecting all major European academic and research centres, and TEIN3 for Asia Pacific

During last 5 - 10 years emergence of inter-regional links for global cooperation

TEIN3 provides regional and global links for Asia-Pacific researchers

Case StudyData Intensive Collaborative Crop Research: New Rice Varieties

Work on genes done at the International Rice Institute (IRRI) in the Philippines International collaboration to develop resilient, climate-proof crop varieties. Marker-assisted selection used to develop water tolerant enhanced rice.Vast genomics datasets created, analysed, and exchanged.High-resolution GIS data for

Vegetation analysis, Yield forecast, sustainable land,water management

Over 60% of the population in Cambodia rely on agriculture for their livelihoods andrice is principal crop.

NRENs & TEIN3 contribute to food security.

e-VLBI

The Infrastructure between EU and Asia supports many projects including VLBIe-VLBI (Electronic Very Long Baseline Interferometry) enables data from each telescope captured and instantly distributed electronically for analysis so that near realtime studiesare now possible.In Europe, European VLBI Networks are now connected via GEANT2where the data are sent by fibre-optics.
