SEEREN2 objectives
SEEREN2 aims at:
o creating the next generation of the southeast European
segment of GÉANT
o easing the “digital divide” that still separates most of the
southeast European countries from the rest of the continent
o assisting the incubating NRENs to fully establish themselves in
the European Research Area (ERA) and be integrated in the
related European-wide organisations and initiatives (TERENA,
CEENet, e-IRG, EUGridPMA, etc)

Definition of “Digital Divide”
o First and foremost, the digital divide
is an infrastructure divide. There are
not enough connections and access
points in the world for everyone to
connect their video, voice and
computing devices;
o optical networking is emerging rapidly
o very demanding scientific applications
(i.e. Grids) demand solid and high
bandwidth infrastructure
o Research networks are a national asset
Lyngby, May 22nd, 2007
o Evidenced by numbers:
o 4/5 of the world’s population
give or take a few
percentage points, lack
access to dependable,
reliable and affordable public
communications networks

The SEEREN2 initiative
“… to consolidate the network and
services into the pan-European eInfrastructure and the NREN endusers into the European Research
Area …”

Means of easing the DD: Upgrading
Infrastructure
o SEEREN2 aims at creating the next generation of the southeast European
segment of GÉANT, that intends to make leading-edge technologies and
services available to the entire R&E communities and all sectors without
discrimination between users and sites in southeast Europe in an attempt to
further ease the “digital divide” that still separates most of the southeast
European countries from the rest of the continent.
Upgrading National
infrastructures
Deploying DF connections
Support neighboring
NRENs

Means of easing the DD: Assist the
NRENs
o SEEREN2 continue assisting the
incubating and existing NRENs in
southeast Europe to fully establish
themselves and to integrate with
related European-wide organisations
and initiatives (TERENA, CEENet,
etc) and eventually become full
members of the GÉANT community
by the end of the project.

Active and Passive monitoring using
Smokeping
o “Smokeping” is hosted in the center of the bockbone network.
Namely in Sofia – Bulgaria, where an alternative GEANT
connection exists

SEELight: The lambda facility for SEE R&E
o
o
South-East European Lambda Network Facility for R&E
Proposal for the deployment of an advanced regional network
infrastructure (lambda network facility) for R&E, under the
Hellenic Plan for the Economic Reconstruction of the Balkans
(HiPERB).
SEELight is the response to the need of SEE for high-quality
research and education. The project will
o help create a viable economy-of-scale model for the region
to reduce networking costs per country,
o support the evolving needs of SEE R&E communities in the
fields of domestic and international data communications,
o provide the foundation for network-based information
exchange and co-operation towards a SEE Regional
Information Society
o serve as a testbed for development of new services, and
allow the SEE R&E community to participate in international
networking activities
o assist the SEE countries to achieve their development
goals, support the growth of their National Research &
Education Networks (NRENs), accelerate research, fuel
national and regional economic growth, and aid their
integration with the rest of Europe.
