Introduction
The ASPIRE study is funded by the European Commission as part of the GN3 project
The ASPIRE project is being undertaken in two phases. In the first phase from April until August 2011 there will be consultation regarding the identification of a small number of topics related to the use of the Internet for R&E in the next 5-10 years. The first phase is now complete. Four topics were selected for further study in phase two.
Phase 2 of the project started in November 2011 and be complete by the summer of 2012.
ASPIRE will explore:
- future Internet developments over the next 5-10 years in the context of the research and education community.
- stimulating collaboration and knowledge transfer throughout the network provision and use chain: at the pan-European; national and campus levels.
- collating and defining best practice that can be widely taken-up in Europe
