The GÉANT Project has been running for over 20 years, supporting Europe’s research and education communities and with its 38 project partners (together with the GÉANT Association) representing all of Europe’s National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) and serving as an excellent example of pan-European collaboration.
With a 30-month duration and funding of €80 million, GN5-2 aims to deliver faster, more resilient, and secure connectivity infrastructure alongside enhanced collaboration services, from procuring new online above-the-net services to delivering innovative and distributed trust and identity infrastructure and services, and supporting Open Science. GN5-2 will also reinforce the network security and its operation in a federated approach, and foster collaborations to innovate and strengthen Europe’s sustainable connectivity with other world regions.
