Project description
Building Europe’s digital research future
As research becomes increasingly data-driven globally, the demand for fast, secure, and reliable digital networks is surging. Many research and education communities struggle to access the connectivity and services needed for seamless, secure data sharing and international collaboration across virtual research teams. Ensuring secure and inclusive digital access remains a challenge, especially in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. With this in mind, under GN5-FPA, the EU-funded GN5-2 project will deliver high-speed, cost-effective connectivity, scaling up to terabits per second where needed. GN5-2 will support services, foster knowledge, and expand access beyond traditional users to include emerging technologies such as quantum, time and frequency, and fibre sensing. Furthermore, it will strengthen Europe’s digital backbone and services, empowering researchers and students around the world.
Objective
Under GN5-FPA, GN5-2 continues delivering expanded, cost effective, secure and resilient connectivity for unconstrained capacity ahead of demand in the backbone network and NREN access in multiples of 100Gbps targeting Terabit/s connectivity where needed. GN5-2 will scale its digital service portfolio to changing environments, by prototyping, piloting and, where appropriate, procuring new online above-the-net services to enable researchers and students’ access to applications that support multidomain data-driven, evidence-based and effective collaboration across virtual research teams, worldwide. It will deliver pervasive, innovative and distributed trust and identity infrastructure and services taking into account Open Science and eIDAS, to achieve strategic positioning of T&I as a key enabler of research and education collaboration within Europe. GN5-2 will reinforce the network security and its operation in a federated approach, and foster collaborations to innovate and strengthen Europe’s sustainable connectivity with other world regions.
GN5-2 will address Horizon Europe’s priorities in areas such as data security and access control, innovation, inclusion, and DNSH, and will expand NRENs' users beyond traditional scientific and research communities, enabling networking and access to the common European data spaces, and preparing non-traditional use of fiber: sensing technologies, Quantum, Time/Frequency distribution. GN5-2 will ensure access to the valued services required for Open Science, disseminate learning and training, and build community as well as align with EU policies and ongoing participation with standardisation bodies. GN5-2 can offer its distinctive services due to its human network of professionals, in a consortium with a deep understanding of evolving user requirements. Knowledge and experience are shared within this community, to constantly enhance quality and security of services indispensable to the ERA, instrumental to EU strategic autonomy
