About TEIN2:

The TEIN2 (Trans-Eurasia Information Network) project creates the first large-scale research and education backbone network for the Asia-Pacific region. By linking national research networks, it connects regional researchers with their counterparts in Europe via GÉANT2, the world’s most advanced international research and education network, providing the Asia-Pacific countries with a gateway for global research collaboration. Initiated in 2004 and running until late 2008, TEIN2 is a key programme to improve research networking between Europe and Asia-Pacific, and is a key outcome of the Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM) process. A further programme, TEIN3, will continue and further develop this initiative to 2011. For more information, visit www.tein2.net
