NORDUnet has joined global partners in a project to expand and support international research between Europe, America, Africa, and the Arctic region. The NEA3R project, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the US and led by Indiana University, co-led by NORDUnet, GÉANT, and the UbuntuNet Alliance, will further expand network resources between America, Europe and Africa, as well support for research in the Arctic region. Research is increasingly global, with research collaborations across all continents.
