The first objective is to facilitate the supply of trans-European broadband interconnections between national research, education and training networks at capacities and of a quality matching the aggregated need of Europe's academic and industrial researchers and to keep the resulting network at the forefront of the state of the art” in global terms.

The second objective is to support the provision of experimental interconnection of testbeds for the integration of leading edge collaborative research and development, demonstration, and take-up activities form all key actions in this programme”.

Action Line Descriptions

RN.1 Broadband interconnection of national research, education and training networks, and testbeds

Objective: To procure and manage state-of-the-art trans-European broadband interconnections between national research, education and training networks, matching the aggregated need of Europe’s academic and industrial researchers and the nationally available services. This implies upgrading existing capacities to capacities approaching gigabits/s, introducing support for different levels of ‘Quality of Service’ and improving connectivity to third countries, and includes monitoring the usage of such services and establishing the user requirements for them. To procure and manage advanced testbeds and trans-European experimental communications links to support IST project experimentation.

RN.2 Testbeds for advanced networking and application experiments

Objective: To support the use of advanced testbeds for IST RTD project experimentation for: validating next generation communications and networking, and applications and services; and integrating high-performance computing and communication, including virtual laboratories, studios and institutes. The actions are also expected to: address future computing and communication needs of researchers; improve the take-up of world-best functionalities and systems in European centres of excellence; and to accelerate the formulation, validation and adoption of open interfaces, common standards and codes of practice by manufacturers, network operators, service providers and users.
