Powerful R&E connectivity enables musicians and actors to learn and perform together, although they are hundreds of kilometers apart.
Giving researchers access to real world 5G cellular mobile infrastructure
With an increasing number of researchers working with 5G, there is a growing demand for test facilities outside of a restricted laboratory setting. The EUWireless project is now offering users a complete “telecommunication infrastructure” at his or her disposal.
Live images from a 600 m long microscope
The European Spallation Source, a 1.843 M euro Big Science infrastructure under construction in Lund, Sweden, will feature an on-demand streaming channel
Connected supercomputers to boost European science and innovation
A new pre-exascale supercomputer in Finland will be tenfold faster compared to today's fastest European supercomputer

For the first time, air pollution from individual cities and built-up areas can be detected from space. The European Sentinel-5 Precursor Earth observation satellite sends ultra precise measurement data to ground stations in Norway and Canada.
Protecting the research & education sector against cyber attacks
As cyber attacks increase steadily in frequency and scale, the importance of defending ones own network against attackers increases as well. That is why many R&E networks have a Computer Emergency Response Team, CERT, to handle security incidents.
