Европейская модель NREN

Организационная модель одной NREN в одной стране с координацией и сотрудничеством на континентальном уровне стала ключом к успеху.

На международном уровне, связь между Европейскими NREN обеспечивается сетью GEANT, управляемый ДАНТЕ от имени NREN.

Большинство европейских NREN получают финансовую поддержку из национального правительства. Аналогично, сеть GEANT, объединяющая европейские NREN на международном уровне, получают финансовую поддержку из Европейской Комиссии.

Национальные Исследовательские и Образовательные Сети (NREN), являются активом для экономического роста и процветания. Это – источник инноваций, обеспечивающий быстрое и широкое распространение технологий для общества и промышленности.

Большинство европейских NREN в некоторой степени следуют гибридной модели финансирования. Пользователи вносят справедливый вклад в стоимость производства услуг, в то время как правительство обеспечивает более долгосрочное финансирование инноваций и улучшений.

What is CAREN?

EC-funded project to establish high-capacity R&E network in Central AsiaBeneficiary countries/NRENs:

– Kazakhstan – KazRENA– Kyrgyzstan – KRENA– Tajikistan – TARENA– Turkmenistan – TURENA– Uzbekistan -

Will serve 1 million users at over 500 universities and research institutes in the region

With direct link to GÉANT, CAREN will provide Central Asia with a gateway to global collaborations in R&E

CAREN: From ancient trade route to high-speed data network

For many centuries the Silk Road was the long-distance route for trade and communication across Central Asia, linking Europe and Asia. Today, the Central Asia Research and Education Network (CAREN) is upgrading this route to a 21st-century high-speed Internet highway for research centers and educational institutions throughout the region. Co-founded by the EC and launched in 2010, CAREN interconnects over 500 universities and research institutes in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, with Uzbekistan also a candidate country. Thanks to its interconnection with GÉANT, CAREN allows seamless collaboration between Central Asia and Europe, providing the region with a gateway to global research collaboration.

ACROSS - Advanced Remote Sensing - Ground Truth Demo and Test Facilities

It is part of a larger initiative:

Global Earth Monitoring and Validation System (GEMINIS) led by GFZ and shall become part of the new national infrastructure roadmap plan of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research basis of a future global observation initiative

Among the many aims of ACROSS:

Support the development of forecasting and early warning systems in order to minimise the impacts of extreme events (extreme weather events like floods and droughts, freshwater quality, desertification, earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, etc.).

The Central Asian Research and Education Network

Seismic Early Warning / Rapid Response

In the framework of ACROSS, GFZ will develop monitoring system for (regional) Seismic Early Warning/Rapid Response (starting from 2014). It is planned to install about 50 stations and two vertical arrays.

To fulfill the ACROSS requirements:

-Develop of a monitoring system that can be generalized and exported to other “hazards”

-Define (or implement) standards for data acquisition/archive/exchange

ACROSS and GEMIS will benefit from as well as contribute to the European research infrastructure initiative European Plate Observing System (EPOS).

Case studies

Case study on “Tracking Kyrgyzstan’s melting glaciers” was printed out in Bishkek. Information was provided by Central Asian Institute for Applied Geosciences (CAIAG) and their partners German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam. The case study was given to Ministry for Foreign Affairs and German Embassy in the Kyrgyz Republic for the Ministerial Meeting which held in Bishkek on November 27, 2013.

Support to TARENA to prepare next case study on “Seismology”.
