Single Presentation - 25 min Does the World Need More NRENs? A Day in the Life of an NREN: Reflections, challenges, and possibilities

Speaker

Joshua Brian Kituyi (Research and Education Network for Uganda)

Description

National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) have played a crucial role in fostering collaboration, innovation, and connectivity in research and education. However, the question remains: does the world need more NRENs, or should efforts focus on optimizing existing ones? What have we done, what have we not done and what do we need to do? This presentation critically examines the current state of NRENs, assessing their impact in addressing challenges. Drawing on case studies from existing NRENs, the session will highlight how they have tackled specific challenges while identifying areas for future improvement.
