Research and Education Networks (RENs)

Research and Education Networks (RENs) are specialized high-speed internet networks that connect universities, research institutions, and educational organizations. They facilitate the rapid and secure sharing of large data sets, scientific research, and educational resources. RENs enable collaboration across institutions and countries, supporting advanced research, innovation, and learning. Unlike regular internet providers, RENs are tailored to meet the demanding technical needs of academia and research communities, ensuring reliable, high-capacity connectivity that promotes scientific progress and knowledge exchange worldwide.
