Abstract
The EARNEST foresight study has looked at the expected development of research and education networking in Europe over the next 5-10 years. The study was carried out between March 2006 and November 2007. EARNEST was funded by the European Union through the GN2 project, which also provides the funding for the current generation of the pan-European research and education backbone network, GÉANT2.
The aim of EARNEST was to provide input for initiatives that could help to keep the evolution of European research networking at the forefront of worldwide developments and enhance the competitiveness of the European Research Area. EARNEST has prepared the ground for the planning of the development of research and education networking infrastructure and services after the completion of the GN2 project, at the local, national, European and intercontinental level.
