2008 Compendium of NRENs available now
The cover of the 2008 TERENA Compendium

The eighth annual TERENA Compendium of National Research and Education Networks in Europe is just published. The 2008 edition includes data from more than 40 countries across Europe and surrounding regions. Information about additional countries from other regions is available online.

As in previous years, the range of topics surveyed has been wide ranging including service development, the increasing use of fibre optics, staffing and funding, and general information regarding the NRENs. The 2008 edition also gives a more in-depth analysis and interpretation of NREN traffic figures than in past years.

See What the TERENA Compendium reveals for more details.

The 2008 Compendium was financially supported by the European Union through the GN2 (GÉANT2) project and received input from that project's activity leaders. Production was overseen by an international review panel, TERENA staff and officers.

Printed copies are being sent to participating organisations, TERENA members and policy makers this week. Additional copies cost € 25, excluding post and packaging, and can be ordered from TERENA Secretariat.

A pdf version of the Compendium is also available online, as are full details of all NREN survey responses, via TERENA’s Compendium webpage.
