Global Research and Education Network

CANARIE connects Canada’s NREN to more than 125 international research and education networks in more than 100 countries around the world. This “network of networks” is the Global Research and Education Network (GREN) that links great minds to each other, and to technologies, research facilities, and data, enabling global research collaborations.

What is the Global Research and Education Network?

CANARIE’s connection to the GREN means Canadian researchers have a seat at the table on global research collaborations:

Particle physics research via the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in CERN, Switzerland;

Studies of our cosmos with the Square Kilometre Array;

Cancer research through with the International Cancer Genome Consortium;

Our CEO, Kathryn Anthonisen, represents Canada on the Global NREN CEO Forum, comprised of CEOs from leading NRENs. This group works towards a collaborative model for evolving the GREN and its services to meet the changing needs of the global research and education community.

The GREN advances knowledge and discovery around the world.
