TEIN provides advanced connectivity for researchers, academics and students across Asia-Pacific allowing them to engage in global collaborative research and education projects.

With powerful network links in place, scientists across Asia-Pacific are participating in world-class research projects in areas such as radio- astronomy, tele-medicine, climatology, crop research etc. TEIN enables regional scientists to respond to global challenges, such as food sustainability and climate change, while addressing local concerns.

Many of the applications supported by TEIN are of high societal impact, thus bringing tangible benefits to the general population rather than solely serving the scientific community.
