ASREN is strengthening its cooperation with the AAU in an effort to setup high-speed networks for research and education network across Africa and allow regional integration of e-Infrastructures in the context of the European Commission funded AFRICACONNECT project, a third phase of which will commence in December 2019.
The objective is to strengthen European and African scientific collaboration and empower African scientific communities with digital tools and high-speed e-nfrastructure technologies for a greater access to computing resources and data repositories. In cooperation with GEANT, ASREN, WACREN and UbuntuNet Alliance are launching a new phase of the AFRICACONNECT project through which cooperation with the telecom providers has been set as a priority to bring down costs of access to the African communities at large.
