Research Networks providing new opportunities for global collaboration in all fields TEIN3 provides regional and global links for Asia-Pacific researchers Research networking started in early 1990 s to offer high speed, high quality Internet connections for research and education: National level, run by NRENs (normally publicly funded) Increasing regional level networks e.g GEANT, connecting all European countries and major academic and research centres During last 5-10 years emergence of inter-regional links for global cooperation SLIDE 2
GÉANT: a European Success Story 2000-2004: GN1 Project GÉANT Network 2004-2009: GN2 Project GÉANT2 Network Services Joint Research Activities Networking Activities 2009-2013: GN3 Project GÉANT Network Wider Range of Services Larger Research Programme Wider Networking Activities SLIDE 3

Key Applications TEIN3 success stories Natural disaster warning and post-crisis support Crop research Tele-surgical training, Medical tele-consultations Virtual lectures, esocial Science SLIDE 10
Case Study Data Intensive Collaborative Crop Research: New Rice Varieties Work on genes done at the International Rice Institute (IRRI) in the Philippines International collaboration to develop resilient, climate-proof crop varieties. Marker-assisted selection used to develop water tolerant enhanced rice. Vast genomics datasets t created, analysed, and exchanged. High-resolution GIS data for Vegetation analysis, Yield forecast, sustainable land, water management Over 60% of the population in Cambodia rely on agriculture for their livelihoods and rice is principal crop. NRENs & TEIN3 contribute to food security. SLIDE 11
Case Study Collaborative Projects with high societal impact, Disaster Warning Typhoon forecasting GÉANT and TEIN3 provide a stable and reliable connection between the expertise and high-speed computing capacity of the German weather bureau DWD and the meteorologists at its counterparts in the Philippines. Timely transmission of global meteorological data to make local prediction of typhoons. Typhoon Ketsana struck Cambodia in 2009. High-speed networking: saving lives by typhoon forecasting SLIDE 12
Case Study Earth Observation, THEOS First Thai Earth Observation Satellite Launch 1 Oct 2008 with Polar Orbit ~14/day Polar station at Esrange Space Centre, Kiruna, run by Swedish Space Corporation Main control, processing & data archive centre run by GISTDA in Bangkok, Thailand. MoU signed with DANTE Link Kiruna-SSC-Stockholm to connect to SUNET expected in a month File transfer: Emergency & Disaster, flood, forest fire SLIDE 13
Case Study GEANT & TEIN3 join cultures through music & dance, Launch performance Art Exchange Ancient musical instruments on stage in Stockholm (Grids used to reconstruct) Dance: Water-stone power symbolism Choreographed on traditional Malaysian movements & costumes Epigoniu m Barbiton Worked with NRENs on testing the link PoC for transmitting Audio & Video over 10,000 km latency ~500ms. Dancers in Kuala Lumpur SLIDE 14
TEIN4 TEIN3 completes in September 2012: further phase of EC funding agreed for TEIN4. TEIN4 January 2012 to December 2015 seamless transition from TEIN3. Emphasis on supporting High capacity links between Asia and Europe developing countries, especially those not yet connected e.g. Afghanistan, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar Greater use for collaborative applications by Asian and European user communities Network will be re-tendered for TEIN4 SLIDE 15
TEIN* Co-operation Center TEIN4 will be contracted by EC with TEIN* Co-operation Center: New not for profit organisation registered in Korea Significant financial backing from Korea government Endorsed by EU and Asian heads of state at ASEM8 Oct 2010 TEIN will continue to be a community wide program DANTE will work with TEIN*CC to ensure smooth transition and will continue to advise and support TEIN programme SLIDE 16
