AAU Regional Research and Education Networking Workshop |
The Association of African Universities (AAU) is organizing a Workshop on the National Research and Education Networking (NREN) establishment process in Africa. This workshop is being sponsored by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and the AAU.
Though its focus is on the establishment and enhancement of NRENs in Africa, the workshop is being organized as a regional meeting of West African universities and will bring together a number of ICT managers as well as key international players.
The specific objectives of the workshop are:
- Consultation and sharing of experience with African academic and research institutions on their ICT, research and education networking needs, as well as strengthening collaboration between them and other stakeholders;
- A presentation of the role and vision of AAU on NREN and RREN development in Africa, following a strong mandate received from its members;
For more information, please contact the Research and Education Networking Unit (renu@aau.org).
