TERENA Compendium of National Research and Education Networks In Europe /Basic Information1.2 HistoryIn the near future, TERENA will publish a book on the history of researchnetworking at European level, edited by Howard Davies and Beatrice Bressan.At the national level, in most countries NRENs did not simply appear on thescene. Instead, their development was the result of a process that was influencedby technological developments, by government policies and by the visionsof individuals in the research and education community. In the Compendiumsurvey, NRENs were asked to identify three dates:• when research network operations started;• when research networking started as a dedicated organisational unit;• when the NREN was founded in its current form.As can be seen from the table below, in some countries research networkingstarted first and became formalised later. In others, however, the organisationwas created before operations began. Note that the function of the NRENhas not been carried out by the same organisation in all countries; there mayhave been periods without any NREN in some countries.In many countries in Western Europe, NRENs were formed in the earlynineteen-eighties. Many countries in Eastern and Southern Europe followedten or more years later, after 1990. For the countries of Eastern Europe, this isof course related to the end of the Cold War period.Table 1.2.1 NREN HistoryCountry NREN Start ofresearchnetworkoperationsStart ofresearchnetworking asa dedicatedorganisationalunitYear in whichthe NREN wasfounded in itscurrent formURL to history of the organisationEU/EFTA CountriesAustria ACOnet 1990 1986 http://www.aco.net/geschichte.html?&L=1Belgium BELNET 1993 1989 2000 http://www.belnet.be/fr/index2.php?upnr=88Bulgaria BREN 1989 1989 2006Cyprus CYNET 1995 2000 2000Czech Republic CESNET 1993 1996 1996 http://www.ces.net/doc/history.htmlDenmark UNI-C 1985 1985 2000 http://www.denet.dk/historyEstonia EENet 1993 1993 1993 http://www.eenet.ee/englishEENet/Finland Funet 1983 1983 1983 http://www.nic.funet.fi/index/FUNET/history/internet/en/etusivu-en.htmlGermany DFN 1984 1984 1984Greece GRNET S.A. 1995 1996 1998 http://www.grnet.gr/default.asp?pid=11&la=2Hungary NIIF/HUNGARNET 1987 1990 1992 http://www.niif.hu/en/storyIceland RHnet 1986 2001 2001 http://www.rhnet.is/english16
