The GÉANT Evolution
7th generation of pan-European research network federated
infrastructure: A 20 year success story
EuropaNET  TEN34  TEN155  GÉANT (GN2  GN3)
Connects 36 European countries through 32 NREN partners
Over 3,500 Research & Education (R&E) campuses across Europe
Over 30 million users
Total GÉANT Cost: 40 M€/year (shared equally by the EC & NRENs)
GÉANT EC Subsidy < 10% of total European R&E Networking Cost
Provides extensive international connectivity to other world regions
Governance by NREN PC, Exec
Project co-ordination by DANTE via the PMT (Project Management
Team) complemented by TERENA and involving > 400 NREN staff

The GN3 Mission
To create an innovative multi-domain hybrid networking environment,
using advanced transmission & switching technologies
To enable R&E users through their Organizations with flexible and
scalable production quality services via their constituent NRENs
To be an enabler for Global R&E networking supporting international eScience initiatives, creating a Global Virtual Village to house
researchers & educators around the world
To contribute to standards as a key participant in European & Global
efforts towards the Network of the Future
Innovation through participation
NREN – GÉANT Ecosystem
Including R&E communities across Digital Divides
Leverage collaboration via virtualization
Enable access to the Knowledge Society
Make Big Science affordable at the desktop
Creating a distributed Critical Research Infrastructure
Provision & manage Optical Private Networks for Science: LHC
OPN, eVLBI…
Expected to serve International Demanding Projects (FEDERICA,
ESFRI Priorities - PRACE, ITER…)
Fostering European innovation by sustaining a vast Network of
Excellence in
