TERENA Compendium of National Research and Education Networks In Europe /Basic Information1 BASIC INFORMATION1.0 NRENs that have Responded to theQuestionnaireThere are 54 countries in the area that has been considered for this edition ofthe Compendium (basically, Europe and the surrounding countries in the MiddleEast and North Africa). In three countries, there are no NRENs or we do not haveknowledge of NREN work in those countries. 42 NRENs responded to the survey,from as many countries. Not all NRENs were able to answer all of the questions,but many were. The following map and table give an overview of the NRENs thatsent their replies and an impression of the completeness of those replies.In most of the tables and graphs, the English-language abbreviation of theNREN’s name has been used in order to denote the NREN. Table 1.0.1 provides alist of countries and the abbreviations of the NREN(s) from those countries thatsubmitted information. Table 1.0.2 provides a list of some countries where weknow that research networking exists, but from which no replies were received.Table 1.0.3 provides a list of other NRENs that provided information for theCompendium, as found on the Compendium website.NRENs were asked to double-check and update their replies.Two projects are relevant in this context: the EUMEDCONNECT project focusingon the Mediterranean region (see http://www.eumedconnect.net)and the SilkHighway and Occasion projects, focusing on the Central Asian countries (seehttp://www.ist-occasion.org). In addition, CEENet (http://www.ceenet.org)maintains contacts and provides support to many NRENs in Central and EasternEurope and the former Soviet Union.In a number of countries outside of the EU/EFTA area, two or more NRENs exist.This is the case for example in the Ukraine. In 2007, data were provided by URAN.In 2008, data were provided by UARNet.More information about NRENs from the Asia/Pacific region can be obtained fromAPAN, http://www.apan.net; for Latin America, see CLARA,http://www.redclara.net; for Eastern and Southern Africa, see the UbuntuNetAlliance, http://www.ubuntunet.net.
