Building on the achievements of its predecessors, the third generation of the Trans-Eurasia Information Network (TEIN3) project provides a dedicated high-capacity Internet for research and education communities across Asia-Pacific. By linking national research networks, it connects regional researchers with their counterparts in Europe via GÉANT, the world’s most advanced international research and education network, providing the Asia-Pacific countries with a gateway for global research collaboration. Not only does the new network provide upgraded link capacity, it also sets out to expand its geographical footprint to connect additional Asian countries, notably in the South Asian sub-region. Announced at ASEM7 in October 2008 and running until late 2011, TEIN3 is fundamental in facilitating research networking between Europe and Asia-Pacific, and is a key outcome of the Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM) process.
