The GÉANT Evolution
7th generation of pan-European research network federated infrastructure: A 20 year success story
EuropaNET TEN34 TEN155 GÉANT (GN2 GN3)
Connects 36 European countries through 32 NREN partners
Over 3,500 Research & Education (R&E) campuses across Europe
Over 30 million users
Total GÉANT Cost: 40 M€/year (shared equally by the EC & NRENs)
Provides extensive international connectivity to other world regions
Governance by NREN PC, Exec
Project co-ordination by DANTE via the PMT (Project Management Team) complemented by TERENA and involving > 400 NREN staff

The GN3 Mission
To create an innovative multi-domain hybrid networking environment, using advanced transmission & switching technologies
To enable R&E users through their Organizations with flexible and scalable production quality services via their constituent NRENs
To be an enabler for Global R&E networking supporting international e-Science initiatives, creating a Global Virtual Village to house researchers & educators around the world
To contribute to standards as a key participant in European & Global efforts towards the Network of the Future
Innovation through participation
NREN – GÉANT Ecosystem
Including R&E communities across Digital Divides
Leverage collaboration via virtualization
Enable access to the Knowledge Society
Make Big Science affordable at the desktop
Creating a distributed Critical Research Infrastructure
Provision & manage Optical Private Networks for Science: LHC OPN, eVLBI…
Expected to serve International Demanding Projects (FEDERICA, ESFRI Priorities - PRACE, ITER…)
Fostering European innovation by sustaining a vast Network of Excellence to
Test & deploy bleeding-edge networking technologies (e.g. 100 Gigabit/sec per wavelength)
Advance INTERNET multi-domain toolsets & federal services

NRENs & GÉANT as Future Internet Infrastructures
The European Future Internet (FI) Research & Experimentation (FIRE) facility:
Supporting experimental networking research in the ERA and beyond
Federating industrial – academic testbed facilities & virtualization platforms
Interworking with International FI Initiatives (US GENI, Japanese AKARI….)
The NREN - GÉANT Community contributes resources for experimental research towards the FI via:
Dedicated virtual networks within its advanced hybrid infrastructures
Virtualization-aware computing and networking resources for emulations of disruptive research ideas, the e-Infrastructures FP7 project FEDERICA
