  1. NREN Its Existence and Mission Predrag Pale Predrag.Pale@FER.hr

  2. Yesterday • the world without networks • no technology • no service • academic community as • inventor (of technology) • experimentator (with applications)

  3. Today • commercial networks available • networking services are a commodity • (usually)significant gap between AC and other communities • primary and secondary education • (public) libraries • cultural institutions

  5. The Mission MNREN = ƒ ( RAC ) MNREN– the mission RAC– the role of academic community

  14. Computer Infrastructure • common servers • common and general purpose classrooms

  16. Education • tutorials for new technologies • courses for new tools • customized literature • knowledge verification
