Research and Education community plays vital role in the development and adoption of new technologies and development around the world, therefore the need for research activities in our Higher education community in Nigeria and Africa cannot be over emphasized.

A Research and Education Network (REN) is a special Internet Service Provider that connects research institutions, libraries, Universities and other higher institutions of learning. This special network facilitates the exchange and sharing of information within the connected institutions and makes for great research. They also enable other services like e-learning, Data management, Content development, Cloud Computing, Internet protocol services, and further technology development.

This year at EduNet Conference we will be looking at the Research and Education networks (RENs) in Nigeria. How are they formed, what are the benefits of such networks, what are the opportunities, challenges and the future of these research and Education Networks in our research and education institutions?

The  two day conference is a forum to share knowledge, ideas, collaborate amongst stakeholders, service providers, research and education community, ICT directors, Government, Businesses, equipment manufacturers ,researchers, Education Application developers, e-learning providers, local and international organization. This will no doubt foster further development in infrastructure, technologies, application and services for the education and research community.
