Description
NORDUnet is the regional collaboration of the five Nordic National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), working together to accelerate digitalisation in the Nordic research and education (R&E) ecosystem. Aligned with its strategic goal to be recognised as a key collaborator both within the Nordic region and internationally, NORDUnet supports the strategic objectives of the Nordic NRENs by offering a unified response to shared challenges.
Through the delivery of essential services such as Zoom, Kaltura, and LMS platforms—delivered on NORDUnet’s robust infrastructure—NORDUnet strengthens data protection and operational resilience for educational institutions. Looking ahead, NORDUnet is actively exploring the expansion of services to meet evolving needs across the Nordic and global R&E landscapes.
NORDUnet also plays a vital role in supporting open science and FAIR data by contributing to the EURO-FP and EOSC EU Node service delivery consortia. As coordinator of the AARC project, NORDUnet leads the advancement of the AARC interoperability framework, providing a blueprint for federated authentication and authorisation systems for the global research community.
Finally, by delivering high-capacity global network connectivity, NORDUnet ensures Nordic researchers remain active participants in major international scientific endeavours such as the LHC, SKA, and EISCAT.
