2 slides for TEIN2 applications, Tele-medicine application
Enabling and promoting applications • Tele-medecine – well established, all TEIN2 partners participated for first time during Manila APAN Jan 2007 • Earth Monitoring e.g. Disaster warning, Oceanography, Climatology. High potential areas. • E-learning • E-Heritage • E-Science e.g. collaborations between Europe and China (incl EU/China TEIN2 link now upgraded to 2.5 Gbps via Project ORIENT)
TEIN3 (after mid 2008) • All TEIN2 partners want the network to continue • TEIN3 plans • Seamless follow on • Possible geographical expansion to S Asia • Network will be re-tendered • Initially run by DANTE, then transitioned to Asian ownership • TEIN3 Funding package being developed: • Tapering EU funding expected • Increasing partner funding • Co-ordinated working with other donors welcomed!
Conclusions • TEIN2 is the first regional Asian R&E network • Partners and their governments recognising benefits of regional-level collaboration • Traffic growing and user communities forming • National NREN development catalysed in all beneficiary countries • TEIN3 will further develop the Asian network, hopefully including S Asia • Non-EU support for TEIN3 welcomed!
