  4. OECD recommendation Recommendation Nr 3: “… facilitate access to Grids for researchers and research organisations in developing countries. … Telecommunication policies and regulations could be reviewed and , if appropriate, modified to facilitate access to high-speed computer networks in developing countries” Grid workshop in Sydney, September 2005

  5. International Workshop onAfrican Research & Education NetworkingConcluding Remark by CERN’s Director General CERN supports the Digital Solidarity Fund Improving Networking in Africa will bring many benefits to AfricaIt will also bring major benefits to the rest of the world by integrating Africa into the Global Information Society Together with many science and education networking organisations

  6. Connectivity is provided by interconnecting many infrastructures, both at the local and global level. • Many ongoing efforts to interconnect RENs. • Hope that this session will serve as example for successful undertakings and encourage efforts elsewhere.
