Objectives OCCASION Project

The main objective of OCCASION is to advance collaboration between European researchers and those in the Caucasus and Central Asia – the Silk countries. The other objective is to help develop the National Research and Educational Networks (NRENs) in the Silk countries – both in technology and facilities.

Specifically OCCASION will pursue the following themes:

  • manage the network linking the Silk NRENs to GEANT2.

  • coordinate the provision of information services by the Silk NRENs.

  • deploy and operate a set of VoIP and multimedia conferencing end-stations to provide collaboration facilities between the researchers from the European Union and the Silk countries.

  • deploy and assist in the operation of a Computer Emergency Response Team in each Silk country.

  • to facilitate training in relevant areas.

  • to set the scene for the Silk NRENs to move to a sustainable NREN infrastructure with good performance within its financial limitations.
