The TransAfrican Network Development (TANDEM) aimed at creating the favourable conditions for WACREN (West and Central African Research and Education Network), enabling the Regional REN to draw maximum benefit from the forthcoming AfricaConnect2 project and ensuring its integration into the global Research and Education networking community and its long-term sustainability.
Sci-GaIA
The Energizing Scientific Endeavour through Science Gateways and e-Infrastructures in Africa (Sci-GaIA) was aimed at producing clearly structured guides and educational documents that can be used to train and support representatives of NRENs. Communities of Practice (CoPs), and, importantly, to get universities to develop Science Gateways and e-Infrastructures in Africa.
AfricaConnect2
AfricaConnect2 (AC2), a project funded by the European Union, aimed to support the development, consolidation and use of high-capacity national and regional research and education networks (NRENs) across Africa and set up connections to the pan-European GÉANT network, thus providing the African research and education (R&E) communities with unrivalled opportunities for global collaborations.
