In the field stories

L'ICT avanzato è il cuore della rete globale formata dalle reti nazionali della ricerca e dell'istruzione (NREN), ma queste reti sono costituite da molto più di fibra, tubi, router e interruttori.
Le infrastrutture di rete della ricerca e dell'istruzione attraversano il mondo, consentendo l'accesso a contenuti e risorse, collegando le persone, offrendo nuove esperienze, promuovendo la collaborazione e coltivando comunità interdisciplinari che cercano di fare la differenza.
Il blog di In The Field incarna quello spirito, riunendo la community delle NREN in una collaborazione globale con utenti e beneficiari per mostrare e condividere alcune delle nostre storie e dei risultati più stimolanti.
