Research Networks – providing new
opportunities for global
collaborations in all fields
Research networking started since
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 co-operations
TEIN3 provides regional and global links for Asian researchers, including for food security

TEIN3 Introduction
TEIN3 (Trans-Eurasia Information Network 3rd Generation) provides a large-scale
research and education data-communications network for the Asia-Pacific region
since 2006:
Extends and encourages research and education IP connectivity, linking Asia-Pacific
researchers, educators and students to each other and to their counterparts in Europe.
Via fast, direct links to Europe’s multi-gigabit GÉANT network and North America,
providing the Asia-Pacific countries with a gateway for global collaboration.
TEIN3 Facts
Connects more than 45 million users
Regional connectivity extends from four network hubs in Beijing, Singapore, Hong Kong
and Mumbai to connect more than 16 countries across the Asia-Pacific region
Direct links to GÉANT create a potential user base of more than 80 million
Operates at speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps
Currently managed by not for profit research networking experts DANTE, which also
manage GEANT. Aims to transfer project management to TEIN* Cooperation Center for
the next phase of TEIN3

An ASEM Success Story is continued
ASEM3 Summit (Seoul, 2000) endorsed TEIN as one of the new 16 ASEM
Initiatives upon the co-proposal by Korea, Singapore and European Commission
(EC)
“Under the theme of “Partnership for Prosperity and Stability in the New Millennium”
The success of TEIN2 was celebrated at the ASEM6 Summit in Finland, which
marks the tenth anniversary of ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting) co-operation, “10
Years of ASEM: Global Challenges – Joint Responses”.
“Collaboration between Europe and Asia is increasingly critical to solving global issues, such
as climate change and health threats such as avian influenza and HIV/AIDS.”
“TEIN2 is bridging the digital divide within Asia-Pacific, and it is already delivering opportunities and
benefits to the citizens of both regions. We expect this success to continue as it expands.”
TEIN3 provides a dedicated high-capacity Internet network for research
and education communities across Asia-Pacific.
TEIN3 already connects researchers and academics in Australia, China,
India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, the
Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Bangladesh, Bhutan and Cambodia are in the process of getting
connected, bringing the total number of partners involved in TEIN3 to 19.

- TEIN4 and TEIN* Cooperation Center -
ASEM8 Chair’s Statement :
(http://www.asem8.be/asem-8-chairs-statement-and-brussels-declaration)
(page 18) 79. Leaders recognized the important role played by the Trans-Eurasian
Information Network (TEIN) project in increasing direct internet connectivity among
research and education in Asia and between Asia and Europe. They welcomed the
planned launch of its 4th phase and the establishment of a Cooperation Center
hosted by the Republic of Korea with financial contributions from participating
ASEM partners.

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.
Applied DNA-sequencing to the genomes of different rice varieties
Vast genomics datasets 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.
