Research and Education Networks

Research and Education Networks (RENs) are specialized internet infrastructures that connect universities, research institutions, and educational organizations. They provide high-speed, reliable connectivity to facilitate the sharing of large data sets, advanced scientific tools, and collaborative projects across regions or countries. Unlike everyday internet access, RENs focus on supporting academic and research needs, enabling breakthroughs in science, technology, and education. This network infrastructure enhances innovation, facilitates global collaboration, and ensures that researchers and educators have the robust digital tools necessary for complex and data-intensive work.
