-- PRESS RELEASE
European Research Network extended to the Balkans with EU Support (9/01/04)
The South Eastern European Research and Education Networking (SEEREN)
project has completed the extension of the pan European high-speed research
network GÉANT to the Balkan countries. This accomplishment not only
interconnects the research communities in the South Eastern European
Countries amongst themselves, but also connects them to the existing
European backbone network for research and education. The extension makes it
much easier for Balkan research communities to participate effectively in
joint research and educational activities with the rest of Europe. The
European Commission provided 1.3MEUR of funding for the SEEREN project under
the Information Society Technologies priority of its 5th Framework Programme
for R&D. The extension was inaugurated on January 9th with a ceremony held
at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
