Questions were: 1-Are governments the main stakeholders of NRENs? 2-Should governments be the main stakeholders of NRENs? Answers are: Yes and No. NO, because a research network has to be configured and managed by the research and academic community to reflect the real users needs and users (have to) contribute financially to access the network. YES, because there is no way to build such kind of networks without the national and european governments political and financial contribution (synergy and monopolies).

Future perspectives? EUMEDGRID Is the extension of the European Research Area still strategic? Is the Mediterranean Region a priority in this strategy? Is the European Vision of exporting the model of e-infrastructures still valid? Which are the actions to support this Vision in FP7? European funds can only be a seed! A long term commitment is needed! Mediterranean Countries should invest in their e-infrastructures to become protagonists of their own development. EV. EUMed event, 24 oct. 2007, Brussels 26
