What is Internet2?

Internet2 is a collaborative project by over 120 U.S. research universities, working with partners in industry and government, to develop a new family of advanced applications to meet emerging academic requirements in research, teaching, and learning. This collaboration is addressing the major challenges facing the next generation of university networks by:

  • First and most importantly, creating and sustaining a leading edge network capability for the national research community,
  • Second, directing network development efforts to enable a new generation of applications to fully exploit the capabilities of broadband networks, and
  • Third, working to rapidly transfer new network services and applications to all levels of educational use and to the broader Internet community, both nationally and internationally.
