The Hanoitimes - The Vietnam Research and Education Network (VinaREN) has emerged as an
information superhighway 8 years after its inception in 2004, allowing the
local research – training community to connect with over 50 million colleagues
all over the world.
By now, more than 100 agencies in all 63
provinces and cities in the country including research institutes,
universities, hospitals, and departments of science and technology have linked
up with VinaREN.
According to the Director of National Agency
for Science and Technology Information under the Ministry of Science and
Technology, Ta Ba Hung, the international VinaREN line upgraded from 155 Mbps
to 622 Mbps helps boost the stability for internal and global connection.
Besides sharing scientific information with
their international counterparts, Vietnamese scientists and researchers are
also now able to access many databases worldwide, Hung added.
In 2012, VinaREN assisted a number of major
domestic hospitals in organising video conferences to share treatment
experiences and new techniques with foreign counterparts. It also served the
transmission of hydro-meteorological data from abroad to the National Centre
for Hydro-meteorological Forecasting.
