Европейская модель NREN

Организационная модель одной NREN в одной стране с координацией

и сотрудничеством на континентальном уровне стала ключом к успеху.

На международном уровне, связь между Европейскими NREN

обеспечивается сетью GEANT, управляемый ДАНТЕ от имени NREN.

Большинство европейских NREN получают финансовую поддержку из

национального правительства. Аналогично, сеть GEANT,

объединяющая европейские NREN на международном уровне,

получают финансовую поддержку из Европейской Комиссии.

Национальные Исследовательские и Образовательные Сети (NREN),

являются активом для экономического роста и процветания. Это –

источник инноваций, обеспечивающий быстрое и широкое

распространение технологий для общества и промышленности.

Большинство европейских NREN в некоторой степени следуют

гибридной модели финансирования. Пользователи вносят

справедливый вклад в стоимость производства услуг, в то время как

правительство обеспечивает более долгосрочное финансирование

инноваций и улучшений.

What is CAREN?

EC-funded project to establish high-capacity R&E network in Central AsiaBeneficiary countries/NRENs:

– Kazakhstan – KazRENA

– Kyrgyzstan – KRENA

– Tajikistan – TARENA

– Turkmenistan – TURENA

– Uzbekistan -

Will serve 1 million users at over 500 universities and research institutes in the region

With direct link to GÉANT, CAREN will provide Central Asia with a gateway to global collaborations in R&E

CAREN: From ancient trade route to

high-speed data network

For many centuries the Silk Road was the long-distance route for trade

and communication across Central Asia, linking Europe and Asia.

Today, the Central Asia Research and Education Network (CAREN) is

upgrading this route to a 21st-century high-speed Internet highway for

research centers and educational institutions throughout the region. Co-

founded by the EC and launched in 2010, CAREN interconnects over

500 universities and research institutes in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,

Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, with Uzbekistan also a candidate

country. Thanks to its interconnection with GÉANT, CAREN allows

seamless collaboration between Central Asia and Europe, providing the

region with a gateway to global research collaboration.

ACROSS - Advanced Remote Sensing -

Ground Truth Demo and Test Facilities

It is part of a larger initiative:

Global Earth Monitoring and Validation System (GEMINIS) led by GFZ

and shall become part of the new national infrastructure roadmap plan of

the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research basis of a future

global observation initiative

Among the many aims of ACROSS:

Support the development of forecasting and early warning systems in

order to minimise the impacts of extreme events (extreme weather

events like floods and droughts, freshwater quality, desertification,

earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, etc.).

The Central Asian Research

and Education Network

Seismic Early Warning / Rapid Response

In the framework of ACROSS, GFZ will develop monitoring system

for (regional) Seismic Early Warning/Rapid Response (starting

from 2014). It is planned to install about 50 stations and two

vertical arrays.

To fulfill the ACROSS requirements:

-Develop of a monitoring system that can be generalized and exported

to other “hazards”

-Define (or implement) standards for data acquisition/archive/exchange

ACROSS and GEMIS will benefit from as well as contribute to the

European research infrastructure initiative European Plate Observing

System (EPOS).

Case studies

Case study on “Tracking Kyrgyzstan’s melting

glaciers” was printed out in Bishkek. Information

was provided by Central Asian Institute for Applied

Geosciences (CAIAG) and their partners German

Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in

Potsdam.

The case study was given to Ministry for Foreign

Affairs and German Embassy in the Kyrgyz

Republic for the Ministerial Meeting which held in

Bishkek on November 27, 2013.

Support to TARENA to prepare next case study on

“Seismology”.
