Call for research proposals for Enlighten Your Research Global

(EYR-Global) 2015 is now open!

AARNet and REANNZ are among 12 National Research and Education Networks representing the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe partnering to oversee and implement this science support program.

EYR-Global is a program where research and education (R&E) network organisations join forces to help accelerate international research collaborations through improved networking, data transfers, or engineering. Scientists submit research projects that could benefit from access to advanced networks and technology and consultation with expert engineers to help improve research workflows. The selected projects then receive customized network engineering support for a year.

In 2013, four research projects in climate, genomics, and computer science received awards in the form of network resources and engineering consultations to improve the science workflows of each project, but any project from any academic discipline that is international in scope is eligible.

For more information, please contact peter.elford@aarnet.edu.au
