​EUMEDCONNECT3

EUMEDCONNECT3 provides a high-capacity dedicated Internet for research and education (R&E) communities across the southern and eastern Mediterranean region. By accessing the network through their respective national research and education networks (NRENs), that are partners in the programme, scientists and academics are able to collaborate among each other and engage in innovative, data-intensive international projects. With its direct links to GÉANT, the pan-European R&E network, EUMEDCONNECT3 provides access to over 40 million users at over 8000 research and education establishments across Europe. Via GÉANT’s connections to networks in other world regions, EUMEDCONNECT3 is a gateway for Mediterranean researchers to be truly global players.

Building on the success of its predecessor network, EUMEDCONNECT3 directly connects researchers in southern and eastern Mediterranean partner countries, initially Algeria, Egypt and Palestine. Further countries are expected to join including those that have participated in previous phases.
