By joining forces, the R&E Networks are bigger players in relevant markets — such as the intercontinental connectivity market — than before. Hence, the R&E Networks can be much more ambitious and create a more far reaching result, yielding a sustainable high-performance global interconnect for research and education. By joining forces, the R&E Networks now have the potential to bring the...
Linking South and North America via a South Atlantic high-performance Research & Education Network (REN) with the nations of Africa’s researchers, students, and knowledge sharing communities has become an increasingly strategic priority. Africa offers research and education communities with unique biological, environmental, geological, anthropological, and cultural resources. Research...
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is envisioned by the European Commission as an underlying platform which nurtures Open Science and Open Innovation in Europe and beyond. It is seen as an ecosystem of organisations and infrastructures from various countries and communities, supporting the open creation and dissemination of knowledge and scientific data as well as collaboration. It is...

The emerging digital learning landscape demands collaborative approach from educators to provide student centred learning environment. The University of Eswatini in its new strategic plan identified the need to implement blended learning which combines online digital media with traditional classroom method to provide an electronic as well as face-to-face learning platform. This shift in...
Abstract
It is globally accepted that scientific literature is critical to efficiency in both education and research. Access to quality scientific information is a prerequisite to quality learning and teaching in higher education and the basis for research activities that address the current problems that face the society. At the same time overwhelming evidence indicates that students,...
Now-a-days, researchers have to be highly qualified professionals and innovators. On the one side researchers are requested to be on a permanent search for new ideas that could be monetised directly or indirectly in the market. On the other side funders of research projects start seeing the funds provided as investment and expect ‘indirect’ returns of payment - in the medium/long run - in...
Libraries in higher learning institutions remain to be the knowledge management platforms. These libraries support universities in performing their core roles of teaching, learning, research, consultancy and outreach. This study is set to investigate how digital collaborative tools and services assist academic libraries in provision of their services for supporting the teaching, learning,...
Federated Identity is a service offered by RENU that allows RENU Identity Federation member institutions to use the same identification data to obtain access to secured resources of all organizations in the group. In research, the use of sensitive information such as personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI), is increasing in tandem with researchers’ big...
Despite access to a robust, global community of research and education networks, many researchers around the world continue to struggle to transfer and access data effectively and efficiently. Researchers often do not understand the value REN services can bring to their research, or worse, are simply unaware that these services are available to them. In order for our community to address...
Cette plate-forme se veut être un outil de travail collaboratif qui facilitera un bon nombre de prestations et services dispensés au sein d’une Université publique, extensible à ce qui nécessite aussi des échanges de données ou autres entre Universités.
Le vécu quotidien de la population universitaire (constitué par les Etudiants, les Enseignants-Chercheurs et le Personnel Administratif et...

The Namibia National Cyber Security Competition (NNCSC) is a yearly event that began in October 2015. The competition is run on an attack-and-defend basis using client server architecture. Teams are assigned an industry based computer system/network scenario which they service and defend. Before the competition the participants are trained on attack and defense procedures and two weeks before...
MoRENet, the Mozambique Research and Education Network, actually interconnects more than 150 research and education institutions around the country. Despite the quality of services and the wide range of products offered, some beneficiary institutions do not have the same perception partly due to a lack of technical skills, preparation and knowledge by the focal points.
MoRENet focal points,...
ILIFU: An African Research Cloud for Data Intensive Science on the Pathway to the SKA
Abstract
Interconnected systems require Internet Protocol (IP) addressing information for communication over the internetwork. There are two versions of IP addressing i.e. IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6). IPv4 is the robust 32-bit long addressing protocol that has been in use in the Transmission Control Protocol /Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networks since the 1970s. IPv6 is the new...
Many institutions lack the ideal point of copyright protection for their institution repositories and therefore there is limited access to the sharing of papers, presentations, articles e.t.c. This paper aims to discover and explore the application of Identity Access Management in a tertiary institution setup and to ensure the information security goals are adhered to within the federation....
