interconnecting researchers and academics across the Arab States by
launching its first PoP in London Telicity and working with its partners on
new PoPs in UAE, Egypt and the Maghreb region. ASREN is also supporting the
development of NRENs in some Arab countries. ASREN will give special

their needs in terms of services and applications. More sessions will be
dedicated to the users to present their research and education activities
and then to identify how these users can be better served by NRENs.
