Research Networks – providing new Research Networks – providing new opportunities for global opportunities for global collaborations in all fieldscollaborations in all fields

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

National level, run by NRENs (normally publicly funded)

Increasing regional level networks e.g GEANT, connecting all European Countries and major academic and research centres

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

TEIN3 provides regional and global links for Asian researchers, including for food security

TEIN3 IntroductionTEIN3 Introduction

TEIN3 (Trans-Eurasia Information Network 3rd Generation) provides a large-scale research and education data-communications network for the Asia-Pacific region since 2006:

Extends and encourages research and education IP connectivity, linking Asia-Pacific researchers, educators and students to each other and to their counterparts in Europe.

Via fast, direct links to Europe’s multi-gigabit GÉANT network and North America, providing the Asia-Pacific countries with a gateway for global collaboration.

TEIN3 Facts

Connects more than 45 million users

Regional connectivity extends from four network hubs in Beijing, Singapore, Hong Kong and Mumbai to connect more than 16 countries across the Asia-Pacific region

Direct links to GÉANT create a potential user base of more than 80 million

Operates at speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps

Currently managed by not for profit research networking experts DANTE, which also manage GEANT. Aims to transfer project management to TEIN* Cooperation Center for the next phase of TEIN3

An ASEM Success Story An ASEM Success Story is continuedis continued

The success of TEIN2 was celebrated at the ASEM6 Summit in Finland, which marks the tenth anniversary of ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting) co-operation, “10 Years of ASEM: Global Challenges – Joint Responses”.

TEIN3 provides a dedicated high-capacity Internet network for research and education communities across Asia-Pacific.

TEIN3 already connects researchers and academics in Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Bangladesh, Bhutan and Cambodia are in the process of getting connected, bringing the total number of partners involved in TEIN3 to 19.

“Collaboration between Europe and Asia is increasingly critical to solving global issues, such as climate change and health threats such as avian influenza and HIV/AIDS.”

“TEIN2 is bridging the digital divide within Asia-Pacific, and it is already delivering opportunities and benefits to the citizens of both regions. We expect this success to continue as it expands.”

ASEM3 Summit (Seoul, 2000) endorsed TEIN as one of the new 16 ASEM Initiatives upon the co-proposal by Korea, Singapore and European Commission (EC)

“Under the theme of “Partnership for Prosperity and Stability in the New Millennium”
