The EaPConnect Project
Launched in July 2015, the Eastern Partnership Connect (EaPConnect) project aims to:
-
establish and operate a high-capacity broadband internet network for research and education (R&E) across six EaP partner countries in the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine;
-
integrate the national research and education networks (NRENs) in the region into the pan-European GÉANT network; decrease the digital divide;
-
facilitate participation of local scientists, students and academics in global R&E collaborations;
-
deploy eduroam and stimulate integration towards GÉANT services.
By interconnecting the R&E communities across the region and with their European counterparts, EaPConnect will create a gateway for talented individuals in the EaP countries to be truly global players.
