Information for Prospective Partner Organizations

Internet2 is constantly building relationships with other National Education and Research Networks (NRENs). Through these mutual partnerships, we aim to connect educational and research communities around the globe.

Internet2's goals in pursuing these international relationships are:

• To ensure global interoperability in the next generation of networking technologies
• To enable research and education through advanced applications on a global scale

To begin these partnerships, we use mutual agreements signed by Internet2 and partner organizations are called Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs). A standard MOU includes provisions such as:

• Providing for interconnection between our respective institutions
• Collaboration on advanced technology and applications development
• Promoting the transfer of technology to the wider education community and the commercial marketplace
