On 23 August 2011 the Asia Pacific Advanced Network Limited (APAN) and TEIN* Co-operation Center (TEIN*CC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on projects to benefit the research and education community in the Asia Pacific region.
The scope of collaboration between APAN and TEIN*CC includes the following aspects:
- Exploitation of Research and Education (R&E) network infrastructure
- Development of advanced network technologies and applications
- Organisation of workshops or meetings to promote advanced technologies, applications and human resources
The importante of the TEIN high-connectivity links in Asia and in India in particular was highlighted during the APAN32 Meeting in Delhi, in August 2011, where also EU-IndiaGrid2 established a special partnership with TEIN3.

EUIndiaGrid2 is playing an important role in enhancing and increasing Euro-India cooperation on e-Infrastructures through collaboration with key policy players both from the Government of India and the European Commission. EUIndiaGrid2 also works closely with policy initiatives such as e-IRGSP2 and Euro-India SPIRIT
Global networks are the glue that holds together Scientific Research Communities around the world. Networks such as GÉANT (The Pan-European Education and Research Network), TEIN3 (The Trans-Eurasia Information Network) and the NKN (National Knowledge Network of India) are all key to this process.
Two main grids exist in India – the Regional component of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG ) and GARUDA, the India National Grid Initiative. Both initiatives strongly rely on the development of national and international connectivity. In this respect fundamental steps have been taken and impressive targets have been achieved.
