  2. Introduction • The process of edification of Global Networked Information Society opens large perspectives for Academic and Research activities: • integration of International and Nation-wide research and education resources • creation of modern distance learning and collaborative work media. • Information technologies and networking infrastructure are actively developed in scientific and educational spheres of Moldova. • RENAM: is an NGO National Research and Educational Network of Moldova CEENet, 2004

  3. Stages of scientific-educational networking segment development in Moldova (supported by NATO NIGs): • Independent networking segments of Universities and Scientific Institutions of Moldova – before 1996 • Moldnet project - 1996-1997 • AMNET project - 1997-1999 • RENAM network (Stage I) - started in 1999 • RENAM network (Stage II) - started in 2000 • RENAM – RoEduNet link - started in 2001 • RENAM – Satellite link for Internet Access Improvement – started in 2003 • RENAM – Wireless Backbone – started in 2004 Before RENAM After RENAM CEENet, 2004

  4. Strategy aims of scientific-educational networking infrastructure development in Moldova • Creation and development of basic infrastructure (nodes and highways) of nation-wide scientific-educational network and providing a stable mutual access to national and foreign information resources; • Elaboration of new information resources and technologies in order to achieve a high level of investigations and close interaction with the European and the world scientific and educational community; • Development of communication media for new educational technologies deployment.
