At the end of October, a Distributed Acoustic Detection (DAS) interrogator was installed at the EMACOM Cable Landing Station in Praia Formosa, in Madeira Island, Portugal.

The Chilean Academic Network's Point of Presence will directly connect the numerous astronomical projects that will be installed on the Chajnantor plain in the Atacama Desert, in order to transmit the data generated by them via the global networks for research and development.

The international project is driven by HEAnet, Ireland's national research and education network, and aims to make eduroam available beyond university campuses, in as many places as possible.

With the goal of recruiting at least 30,000 students, RNP – the national research and education network (NREN) of Brazil – and partners have introduced an ambitious cyber-security initiative. The program “Hackers do Bem” – Hackers of good or, if you will, white hat hackers – addresses a significant deficit of professionals in cybersecurity. According to RNP estimates, more than 300,000 vacancies cannot be filled due to lack of manpower.
