Be an essential component for eEurope and ERA • Concentrate work on key topics and exploit synergies • Establish strong co-operation with national / international initiatives • Combine “Research budget” with “Co-operation budget” to achieve world-wide relevance Focussed approach
The most advanced research backbone • … operating at 10Gbps… • … covering 32 countries... • … linking more than 3000 Universities... • An extended set of tesbeds (IPv6, optical, Grids) • A strategic study on future of RNs • A benchmarking tool • Good co-operation testbed-infrastructure projects Success story!
Testbeds use GÉANT infrastructure Scientific/industrial application areas GÉANT profits from technological innovation R&D Testbeds GÉANT network International dimension Synergies!
Requiring new levels of cooperation Global EU+ NRENs European GÉANT National NRENs Campus Universities GÉANT/NRENs - the model Other funds EU funds National funds
Questions for a strategic study • … • Nature and role of NRENs • Level of services • Technology options • Economic assumptions/options • Geographical coverage • Equality of opportunity for researchers • Cost-sharing models • Coordination to reach end-to-end services • User centered • Communities targeted (support to projects) • Relation to broader policies (e.g. eEurope) ...
Relevant actors • … • Users • NRENs • Funding authorities • Operators and Service Providers • Technology developers/manufacturesr • Visionary researchers • Economists/market analysts • Politicians/decision makers ...
IST Programme Research Infrastructures Research Networks in FP6 Structuring the ERA Programme Research Networks 300 MEuro
Maintain and further develop the services and functionality of existing GÉANT network • Exploit the opportunities of a liberalised telecommunication environment • Support and integrate research projects on-top of the network infrastructure • Strengthen the interaction with users and projects FP6 - Challenges to be addressed
Ensure a high level of cohesion and coordination of priorities amongst the interconnected NRENs • Enhance the "inclusiveness" of the research network infrastructure • Strengthen Europe's position as a global player in the field of networking for research FP6 - Challenges to be addressed
Become the Next Generation Network by making timely use of the results of advanced test-beds which evaluate and validate new technologies and services • Establish synergies with large communities such as the ones exploiting Grids FP6 - Challenges to be addressed
The results of Serenate are therefore crucial to the establishment of concrete initiatives in FP6 • This first workshop, bringing together a good set of relevant actors, is the start of a crucial activity Conclusion Good luck!
