Global Collaboration Case Studies

GÉANT’s global connectivity allows researchers, academics and students across Europe to work with their counterparts around the world on collaborative research projects and e-learning initiatives.

In addition to providing the reliable, high-bandwidth capacities required by big science projects such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, GÉANT and its global reach supports many other applications of social benefit in fields as diverse as climate research, e-health, e-learning and the arts and humanities. To learn about global collaborations benefiting from GÉANT's global connectivity, click on the links below.
