    The daily management is performed by a secretariat named Netsekretariatet.
    The operation of the network is managed by UNI-C.

  35. Forskningsnettet and Danish Center for Scientific Computing was merged into DeIC (Danish e-Infrastructure Cooperation) in april 2012. The new organisation will provide a broad spectre of e-Infrastructure services to e-Science.
    By the end of 2012 the part of UNI-C that manages NOC and NREN services will be seperated from the rest of the organisation. Whereto is unknown at the moment.
    DeIC is (as Forskningsnettet) a virtual organisation with no employees.
