Earlier this month, the Arab States Research and Education Network (ASREN) and Centre de Calcul El Khawarizmi (CCK) have signed an agreement under which ASREN will provide a 1 Gbps connection between the Tunisian national R&E network Réseau National Universitaire (RNU) and the pan-European GÉANT network through ASREN’s Point of Presence (PoP) in London.
The agreement marks Tunisia’s re-joining the international R&E community with the support of the EU-funded AfricaConnect2 project. The link provides researchers, academics and students access to the global R&E networking infrastructure, enabling them to collaborate with peers in other Arab countries and world regions.
