Connecting Europe to Research Communities Worldwide

Global ConnectivityThis site provides an overview of the international connectivity provided to Europe's research and education community. It focuses on international research networking projects funded by the European Commission and managed by DANTE. In addition to providing an overview of global research networking from the European perspective, the site shows how this global connectivity is forming the basis for wider international collaboration and development.
