International NetworksThe International Networks at Indiana University (IN@IU) team advances global research and education by providing high-performance international network connectivity and fostering collaboration across borders.
Since 1998, IN@IU has secured and managed over $55 million in research funding dedicated to connecting the U.S. research and education community with global collaborators and scientific instruments. IN@IU currently leads two major projects—TransPAC and Networks for European, American, African, and Arctic Research (NEA3R)—which provide essential research networking infrastructure for scientists in the U.S., Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Arctic.
TransPAC delivers high-speed network services linking the U.S. with the Asia-Pacific region. TransPAC ensures efficient, high-capacity trans-pacific connectivity is available for US researchers while also expanding research and education opportunities through science engagement.
NEA3R provides over 2.7 Tbps of high-speed network capacity, connecting U.S. researchers with peers in Europe, Africa, and the Arctic. Supported by strategic regional partnerships, NEA3R extends IN@IU’s reach to over 80 countries across three continents.
IN@IU also goes beyond network infrastructure by actively supporting international science projects in fields such as high-energy physics, bioinformatics, and astronomy. The team provides end-to-end data transfer solutions, ensuring seamless access to distributed scientific instruments and datasets worldwide.
