NREN Needs Assessment (NNA) under the Asi@Connect Project

The NREN Need Assessment grant project was initiated by TEIN*CC under the Asi@connect project to provide comprehensive insight and analysis of NREN needs leading to activities that will benefit NRENs.

The information is gathered through both surveys and interviews with the various NRENs organisations and some of their members. The session will start with a presentation introducing the background and the preliminary findings of the NREN Needs Assessment (NNA) under the Asi@Connect project. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion on the key findings, their impact on the NRENs, possible remedial actions to be taken, etc.
