Note that there have been leadership and scope changes in Q1 2025.

The GREN Map Working Group is advancing efforts to build a unified, high-level visualization of the Global Research and Education Network, supporting collaboration among NRENs worldwide.

A key priority in this phase is to engage NRENs in the development of a map that will integrate data from multiple networks, helping to validate the data model and identify the specific needs and expectations of each participant. These insights are essential to ensure that the GREN Map remains accurate, up to date, and functional, without requiring manual updates.

To support this, the working group is also simplifying the data contribution process, curating publicly available information, and strengthening regional coordination through designated points of contact. These efforts aim to broaden participation and make it easier for networks to contribute.

For long-term activities, improvements to the visual experience will help communicate the value of GREN Map participation not only for technical audiences, but also for leadership and decision-makers across the global R&E community.

Objectives

• Engage NRENs to build the dataset for the GREN Map

• Improve coordination and data collection through regional points of contact and curation of publicly available information.
