GN5-1 aims to provide a faster, more resilient, and secure connectivity infrastructure, along with collaboration services, to facilitate researchers' and students' access to programs that promote effective collaboration among virtual research teams worldwide. The project will address Horizon Europe priorities in areas such as data security, access control, and technological innovation. It aims to expand the user base of research and education networks (NRENs) beyond traditional scientific and research communities, enabling connection and access to the European data space.
